Yael Hoenig  

Born in 1975 Currently lives and works in Shoham, Israel.

Hoenigs paintings express her innermost emotional world, feelings, interpretation of the world and her surroundings at the moment of creation. On the surface, Hoenigs paintings may appear optimistic, full of life, and somewhat naïve or childish. Perhaps this is the way she wants others to see them.

A deeper underlying level will reveal conflicts, difficulties, struggles and tensions between the different layers of lines and shapes as they integrate into the picture and begin to merge.

These creations are wounded, scratched, engraved with lines and covered with layers of paint and other materials, similarly as our life experiences and memories are engraved in our bodies and souls.

Even if we try to cover them up, they will always prevail. Hoenigs work is mainly abstract, implementing bold colors, lines and graphic shapes that merge with each other. She uses various forms of techniques and mixed media in her work such as acrylics, charcoal, pencils, chalk and panda as well as newspaper cuttings. Yael Henig is a respected Israeli artist, a graduate of art and visual communication studies at the Avni Institute, as well as painting studies in the US. Her work has been exhibited in a large number of exhibitions in Israel and abroad, and is presented in large collections, private and public, such as “The Bank Leumi Le-Israel Collection". and more.
