Artist Statement:
"Creation is mankind's
ultimate treasure.
In this Crazy region, during
this time of bloodshed, When
Darkness intends to drown us
all, Arabs and Jews. I'm
trying to emphasize hope; a
few rays of light behind the
shadows, a Blossomed leaf, a
flower's teardrop and the
smell of mud after rain. I
simply wish to force us to
take an inner look into God's
mirror,
To realize how much we've got
to lose.
Nature Photography is kind of
a prayer,
I'm praying for us all..."
-------------------------------
-----------------
"Photography is a precise
technique in contrast to the
wild and changing states of
nature.
As a nature photographer I
strive to present nature in a
natural form, to conserve the
uncertainty, the misty mood
and emotion.
The technique I use is based
on changing planes of focus,
soft focusing and scattered
light, that gives a romantic
and impressionistic effect,
colored in the colors of
dreams".

My Website Page "About Dubi Roman" -
written by Rochelle Furstenberg:
"There was a time when meadow, grove and stream,
The earth and every common sight
To me did seem
Appareled in celestial light.
Intimations of Immortality,..."
William Wordsworth
Dubi Roman has always loved Impressionist painting. He sought a way to express an Impressionist vision of nature through photography - to see things in terms of light. Dubi Roman not only captures the play of light in the fields and forests; the shimmering images of a physical landscape. His works also suggest a different light. The stretches of wild flowers in the wood, the dark trunks of trees, are suffused with a more mysterious light; a spiritual radiance emanating from Nature.
This mystical light can be traced to Dubi Roman's roots in Safed and the Galilee. Born in Haifa in 1957, his father's family has lived in the mystical city of Safed in the Upper Galilee for five generations. His grandfather Yitzchak Roman was a Safed artist and sculptor.
Although Roman lives in the city, he constantly escapes to Nature for sustenance. As is evident in his work, he particularly loves the forests. And yet his purpose is not simply to portray Israeli scenery, but to go beyond the specific place to the universalism of nature. To achieve serenity of spirit, the harmony he has been seeking all his life.
As the Impressionist painters went out of their studios to paint Nature, Dubi Roman achieves his surfaces, not primarily by manipulation of the image in the darkroom, but in the very act of taking the picture outdoors. The first exposure is taken slightly out of focus, and is followed by a second shot from a subtly different position. "A tiny movement of the body, and I can capture nuances that change the entire reality," says Roman. "I can never entirely predict the final image. Many elements come together. Many gates are opened."
Dubi Roman initially studied medical instrumentation, and then turned to film and television. He has worked as a video editor for Israeli Educational Television since 1983. All the while, he has refined his skill as a photographer studying professional photography through The New York Institute of Photography. He is married and has three boys, and today lives in Tel Aviv. These photographs are part of an exhibit to celebrate A Hundred Years of the Jewish National Fund which will be shown worldwide beginning October 10, 2001
