About the Item
This painting brings together memory, art, and timeless elegance in a dreamlike still life. At its heart stands a vintage camera, a symbol of captured moments and preserved stories. Beside it rests a portrait of a classic Hollywood icon, evoking glamour, nostalgia, and the enduring power of beauty.
A delicate white rose lies gently across the scene, representing purity and fleeting time, while a small perfume bottle and jewelry hint at personal rituals and intimate memories. The artist’s palette and magnifying glass suggest creativity and careful observation - reminding us that art itself is a way of seeing and preserving the world.
Soft, swirling colors in the background create a sense of movement and emotion, blending past and present into one harmonious composition. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on how art, photography, and memory intertwine - capturing not only images, but feelings that endure beyond time.
Avi Balaish was born in 1954, Neve Neaman - Hod Hasharon.
At a very young age, he was introduced to the world of drawing and art
through the encouragement and support of his mother.
While growing up Avi received his formal education in Kibbutz
"kinneret"'. His studies in the "kibbutz" greatly influenced his world view
as he encountered other cultural experiences.
These experiences, while different than his previous past in Moshav
Neve Neaman (a co-operative Israeli settlement), helped him merge
both cultures, and molded his perception of reality. During this process,
Avi's striking characteristic of being an autodidact was accentuated and
he created and developed his own techniques.
During his military service he took part in various art projects and also
worked as an IDF base designer. Following his military service, he began
working as a graphic designer and billboard artist in "Ovdai Pirsum
Huzot" company which contracted large projects with many
municipalities. During that time he was promoted to Studio manager.
