Sculpture - Israel

I was born in Argentina and immigrated to Israel at the
age of 20 to the kibbutz where I live to this day.
I married, we had 3 wonderful children and today I am
blessed with 5 grandchildren.

I served in many key positions in the kibbutz and was
also an officer in the Israeli army.

At the age of 45 I had a heart attack, followed 3 years
later by a severe stroke, leaving me very handicapped.
20 Before the stroke I had no experience in creating art.

However, I began to paint with a teacher and today I
also sculpture in clay and papier-mâché.

I enjoy great satisfaction from my creativity and am
able to “console myself” with the fact that if not for
the stroke, I would never have discovered my ability to
create and enjoy this pastime.

Today I am already 19 years after the cerebral vascular
accident and continue my creative activity with enthu-
siasm and great satisfaction.
