Chaya Vance
I am always observing, choosing to focus on the beauty in everything which surrounds me. As in life, I strive to take a “negative” and turn it into a positive. I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors. I aspired to be an artist from a young age, but a survivor’s reality influenced me to search for practical applications. Following graduation with a BFA from Boston University, I joined Jasmine Advertising, specializing in Entertainment Portfolios, while simultaneously doing freelance photography for modelling portfolios. In the early 1980’s,, I designed album covers which led me to produce Rock & Roll, Reggae and Children’s Albums. Although I was very successful, I was searching. In 1985 I moved to Taos, New Mexico, where I was enchanted by the unique light and the legendary artists, photographers and writers, whose energy could still be felt: Georgia O'Keeffe, Paul Strand, and D. H. Lawrence. My heart felt alive in the high-altitude environment. The air, light and lore of New Mexico took hold of me. I opened a Bed & Breakfast “Casa de Milagros”, which became a meeting place for local artists. I began to promote Native American Artists as well as exhibiting my photography in a number of Taos Exhibitions. I was one of the few “Anglo” photographers who was allowed to photograph at the annual Taos Pueblo Pow-Pow’s and was intrigued by the unfamiliar customs. (In general, they did not permit to be photographed, especially by tourists) Unexpectedly, in 1993 my life changed forever. I was honored to participate in a select tour with the New Mexico Council of Photography through the waterways between Moscow and St. Petersburg. After an unplanned detour through Greece, Rhodes and Cypress, I wound up on the shores of Haifa for one of the most beautiful and inspirational sunrises I had ever seen. I travelled to Jerusalem and had an epiphany at the Western Wall. I was taken by the image of my own people praying at the wall, and busloads of tourists coming to see them. It was a parallel to what I saw, while having so much reverence for the ancient Native American Ceremonies of which I was privileged to photograph in New Mexico. Suddenly I had a new found appreciation for my own people’s way of life. My oxygen became the air of Jerusalem and I felt I could not live without it. The physical light that I loved in New Mexico, suddenly paled in comparison to the physical and spiritual light in Israel. Ready to finally settle down, I was introduced to my husband, Ronny Vance who spent a lifetime in the record business and was the catalyst for many hit records by renowned musicians including Tupac Shakur, Eric Clapton, Gwen Stephanie, Bruce Hornsby, Michael Sembello. We moved to Israel in 1998, settled in Jerusalem and have adapted to our new way of observant life.

- Binyamin Basteker, The Mighty Waves , 2023 oil on canvas 60 x 80 cmLocated in Jerusalem, ILBinyamin Basteker The Mighty Waves, 2023 oil on canvas 60 x 80 cm 24 x 31 in Binyamin Basteker was born in Mumbai in 1953. Growing up in a family of artists, his unique talent was discovered at a very early age. He perfected the art of portraiture and color while still living in India. Following his immigration to Israel in 1969, he studied with the modern Israeli masters and was considered to be one of the promising young abstract artists of the 1980s. In the mid-1980s he became observant and ceased to exhibit his work. The artist’s inaugural solo exhibition of oil paintings entitled “Stones that Speak” set Basteker apart from the mainstream of “modern” Jewish, religious painters. Whereas in many instances the theme of the painting, whether it be the Kotel or Jerusalem or the wealth of themes available to the observant artist, becomes the goal of the artist, Basteker relates to the “theme” as the “excuse” for the painting. Basteker searches for balance and harmony in his life and translates this to color and texture and motion. Nothing is his work is arbitrary. Every stroke and splash, every line and curve contribute to the perfect composition. The artist’s selection of tools, a result of an immediate inspiration, greatly affects the application of the color and texture. His works are sophisticated and worthy of deep examination. Tremendous layers of thought and spirituality are engraved in each and every work. Yet to the casual viewer, the paintings are aesthetically pleasing on a very simplistic level. On first glance, we see a beautiful bouquet or garden. Yet as the viewer’s eye travels and dissects the composition, we might imagine a maestro conducting a symphony orchestra or a pianist’s graceful fingers dancing over the keyboard. “Jerusalem Flowers” are unique to the Holy City...Category
