My work invites meditation upon nature and its relationship with colour, light
and movement. As I draw or paint, I gradually unravel the underlying qualities
of balance and harmony within my subject matter. What interests me most is
observing the formation of line and pattern: from the blades of grasses to a
bird’s feather; from the shifting of clouds to the beat of my heart; from the
maps of stars in heaven to the trunk of an old oak tree. I continuously strive
to reveal beauty and elegance within the natural rhythm of life and look to my
art as a place of well-being, empowerment and inner peace. The materials I love
to use are water-based pigments, powders, and Japanese black ink. These are
natural and organic and are deeply connected to earth and nature. They afford a
rich palette of hues and allow for both extreme precision and flow of movement.
I am captivated by the way they blend together and create a whole that is more
than its' individual parts. Occasionally, I also add hints of gold and silver,
as these reflect light differently at each hour of the day, changing the glow of
the work from within. Japanese Ink Painting Instructor & Artist, Talia Lehavi -
Standing with a brush in front of Notes on Pine collection in Mallorca Studio My
work is an attempt to find and enjoy a moment in time. The materials I use
embrace that moment, echoing their mark on the paper or canvas, and becoming
eternal for a short while. I am keen to explore images that can stand the test
of time, that would still be of fascination in years to come, and yet are potent
in the here in now. I hope that others understand my work with their hearts and
emotions; that they are touched and moved by it, and that it evokes a sense of
balance, hope, and joy.
