a very powerful tool for achieving peaceful life.As i see it, Drawing & painting is a language; a way of communication in the world of signs, and every visual sign having a particular meaning and function, in addition to the aesthetic values, possess a unique atmosphere that stems from the artist's technique and into the performance.

The visual world I create, shows the metamorphosis of deconstruction and blending together of signs. The results have caused my technique to be a tool as an instrument, Produce a diversity of forms in the method's of depiction. Such forms in my work, are

everywhere, ranging from the objective to the subjective, my compositions are rooted in Persian miniature and meant expressing act. In that element and signs, that are painted in juxtaposition to each other. There is no perspective for the eyes to ultimately be led to a single focal point; In the Iranian painting, there is an equal amount of images in all four corners of the frame without any signs of light & shadow. For instance, there is no night. Light is daylight where people are holding torches or lamps and the viewer has to guess whether it's nighttime, and that fantasy of the mind is rooted in a philosophical establishment that I have tried to blend in with the basic



of my work.Fluidity of form and execution is rooted in fluidity of mind, and leads to a method of depictions that is contradictory and inconsistent in terms of views, this is the main components of postmodernism. With that, I tried to represent the code of language.

The presence of suspense on the overall message, the use of code language stems from life in a land whose conflicted and imperfect, Repressive reality has turned me away. From the cruel societal realities toward isolation. My Art works are structural protesting, expressed as imaginary images. In art we should understand that painting is a medium. For instance, the explicit etchings of the tragedies of war.

In addition to possessing artistic value, the art served as a media network to inform Europe about what went on in Syria for example, The emergence of high-speed mass media gave me the idea to change the News-bearing role in my artwork to portray a sense of chaos & disarray in an inward fashion, in line with the result of my work.I should point out that painting exhibit the fundamental characteristic of the land where it's created; in Iran, paintings have always portrayed a magical, decorative nature and illusions. And of course I intend to keep that characteristic in my art .

What is the creating process? How does the process looks like? Well, First of all, I'm working many hours each day, making several projects in a day, sometimes simultaneously in a day: drawing. Painting. Making sketches in my sketch book.The process... I do believe my soul is moving my hand on the paper or


canvas...Professionally, what's your goal?My dream is to make a book of animation. In this book, the drawing and paintings will have the motion on the paper.

Can you choose one artwork that influenced you and you love the most?

I love all the artworks by CaravaggioEspecially David & Goliath. Thank you, dear Reza, we wish you all the best and many more exhibitions around the world. Maybe and hopefully we will visit your exhibition in Israel...one day.

DORON GAL-ADONI An Interview With

Doron Gal-Adoni, a new emerging artist in the Israeli Art stage, creates his wonderful abstract art from an inner state of manifestation. We were happy to have an interview with the young artists and hear all about his dreamy abstract art.

Hello Doron, Thank you for the interview, Please introduce yourself and Tell us about your background

Hello, I am 46 years old. I used to work as a creative director in the Advertising agencies in Israel. Today I work as a composer and producer. I have my own recording studio and I work with top musical artists in Israel. I come from a Kabalic Family and see the Kabala as a way of life. I research it and turn the symbols and the signs of its unique language into music and spiritual tools.

Tell us about the creation process

In every creation, whether it's music, painting or some other venture, I see a way for me to fulfil my spiritual potential that I extract from my eternal inner world and infuse into


a material one. Reality. Once that is completed it turns into a spiritual vessel that awakens an emotion or a feeling in someone else. That is my responsibility as an artist and as a human being. I also coach people with a special technique developed be Natalie Ben-David called "Satya". This is a method that works on listening, being and dismantling feelings that hold us back. We encounter and relieve the fear inside us so that we can be free to choose again out of our own free will. I believe that each one of us has an obligation to influence and awaken others to make a change in their lives and free themselves from unwanted feelings they hold on to. When one encounters his free will again new options reveal themselves and to me that is the way to achieve inner peace that will manifest itself in the outer world. It's a wonderful transformation. We live in a very challenging and critical time and it is a reflection of what is happening inside us. Our surroundings are our responsibility. The seeds we sowed

our now sprouting and that is karma. Cause and effect. I believe we need to awaken ourselves and the people around us to create this change, bring about inner peace and sow seeds that will benefit us out of respect to the amazing hospitality we received in this world.

What is the essential part in an artist's craft?

Authenticity. What do I want to say here? When I am tuned to myself and know what it is I what to say any way of expression is legitimate. Sometimes I speak about my creations other times I scream, laugh, cry, pray and become one with them. Responsibility, Only when I take responsibility for what exists in my surroundings can I influence and change it. My external reality is a manifestation of what goes on inside me. By taking responsibility I am able to choose again. To Choose who I am and what seeds I want sow at that moment.

Can you share a life changing experience you had ?

When I was 18 I had a very complicated surgery done and experienced a moment of clinical death. My soul wanted to leave my body and I traveled to the world beyond. I was transformed into pure energy of love. Weightless and with no body. I experienced the greatest light of love and the feeling of oneness, wholeness. For me it was coming back home to the source from which I was created and the source we are all created from. A place I had always longed for and at that moment I pledged to contribute to this world. To unite awaken influence bring joy and connect as many people as I can to the light through their way of love. How has your craft as a painter changed through time?

I feel committed to my involvement as a free person . Committed to free myself from miserable emotions and set myself free. Love,

compassion, grace, happiness, faith attentiveness and emptiness are my tools. The more I dive and explore, the more I grow and so does my creation . My paintings have hidden dimensions that are revealed in different angles and lighting sets. Each moment can reveal and expose a new side of the painting that is the infinity I create from and bring to my work . That’s the way I chose the abstract. Undefined. The never ending ray of colors that come together harmoniously through movement. Just like eternity, full of possibilities. Each person can discover hidden corners of himself through observing the painting and its different sides. Its eternalness.

What is your dream project for the future?

Recently I made a very special Kabbalah, musical project:" The 72 names of God" is a special musical project that plays the wisdom of Kabbalah, with its own original songs and chants.Thousands of years ago humanity

was given a wonderful gift: Tools to control all life challenges. They came in the 72 'Names - 72 different combinations of a group of ancient and sacred letters

Because of the divine origin the combinations were called 72 names of God. We don't talk about "Names" in the earthy mundane meaning of it, but the frequencies of energy, in Mantras that are tangible and are operated in a spiritual way.Each and every combination of letters (which creates a name for God), has the power to enable a change within us. It's a secret system that can set a new order in our inner universe.The combinations are a derivative from 3 verses in the book of Deuteronomy, in which the Israelites cross the red sea towards freedom.

Since ancient times, these combinations are a powerful tool for self and global transformation, and they withhold the secret of our being. It's a treasure with an amazing effect. Each combination has its own special connection to the power of success, medicine, abundance, cosmic pairing, unity and more.You are welcome to listen to each song, look at the combination (imagine it, or watch the clip that comes with each song), prepare yourself to the change that is about to be generated in your life and let the sounds,

the songs and the chants clear the obstacles on your way there. My dream is to spread these clips so they can reach people all over the world and each man could fulfil himself and live peacefully. I believe it can bring peace to this wonderful world. Where do you get most of your inspiration? In the restroom. After I relieve myself, I feel I make room for something new to go in. I have had my biggest revelations there. There is also the desert. The dunes scattered over the emptiness and the never-ending space opens me to new discoveries. A restroom in the desert is the best place.

What is the best advice you got in life? Approach everything like you know nothing . Once I think I know something I am full of agendas and perceptions. Nothing new can come in and live is constant rebirth. I am here to say something and I am not free to listen to what is happening at this moment and the wonder of creation. I am missing out on the experience of being present and open to endless possibilities. Most of our lives, we worry about

what will happen and what already happened. Living in this imaginary fear that is created by thoughts instead of living in the present and feeling this magical moment. I own a company called 'Dreams Factory' and we have developed an accessory that looks like a watch. The Now Watch. It is the most accurate watch in the world. Every time you look at it you "see" the time is NOW. Only this moment. It encourages people to live in the present moment
