Gabi Ashkenazi does not plan in advance what to paint ... With the first color laying, the work begins to take shape. "I'm embarking on an adventure I do not know the end of ... The result is a puzzle for me." And as an adventure, the process is accompanied by mental and physical excitement.
The collection of Ashkenazi's memories, feelings and experience naturally creates a unique, relevant and interesting work. Shapes and colors that are woven together speak for themselves and are a brilliant aesthetic pleasure.

Gabi Ashkenazi born in 1952 began studying painting in 2016 with the artist Itamar Siani. In the distant past, she painted for a short time with the painters Tzvi Tadmor and Edwin Solomon, who since then participated in several workshops and continued to paint.

The return to painting lies in the passion that has bubbled for many years. This was created thanks to the special bond that Ashkenazi had with her mother, the late painter Elperan Ruth Miriam, who painted and dealt with art all her life, and the relationship between the two was an endless dialogue with art, painting and art.
"Most of my childhood, the smell of oils and turpentine was an inseparable part of me, and we would often visit the painter Moshe Rosenthalis and the late painter Tepler. The impressive studio in Jaffa left its impressions on me and to this day I like to walk around its walls. "
Shapes and color stains make up almost every painting, even a concrete painting. The combination of the two in the correct composition gives the work its power and expression.
The variety of endless forms and the use of bold colors without fear, distinguish the painter's style. Ashkenazi goes all the way to her personal expression, faithful to herself.
