Amit Bar - In 1950 I was born in Kibbutz Kfar Hamaccabi, Israel, where I lived until 1988. As a kibbutz-member I was not able to take a complete study at an art-college. Therefore I followed evening-lessons drawing for many years. In 1984 I finally got the permission to study creative art at the university. My study at the university of Haifa was combined with Comparative Literature and took three years. I have learned there a lot about various forms of Creative Art. As follows, I decided to dedicate my interest on photography. My final project was children photography. Since 1988 I live in Doetinchem, The Netherlands, and work as a freelance-photographer and painter. In my commercial work I take photographs for a stock agency and make commissioned work. Wishing to combine my photography with drawing and painting, I began to mix them in my artistic work. It began in 1992 with photo collages and took another form in 1996 with body-paintings. Thank you very much for your visit. I wish you lots of pleasure on my gallery and my site, at www.amitbar.com! Amit Bar....

A pivotal moment for me as an artist occurred in 2004 at the Austin Museum of Art, where I had the good fortune of seeing Mountain and Coast Autumn into Winter, Goldsworthys traveling exhibit. His sculptures, often placed in nature and created with organic elements like water, stones, wood, and earth, sparked my desire to explore a similar path, creating art that both encompasses and is set in the natural world. Im inspired to paint, draw, and create pieces that include the shapes, colors, and textures of what I find in the worlds ...
