An accountant by training, Ynon Mabat transitioned to a full-time artist 20 years ago. “What is depicted in my paintings are not places, nor barns, nor trees, nor boats nor rooms. They are moods. I paint moods. My paintings are meant to evoke a memory, an experience, a hope, or the 'good place' we all want to have.
"The artworks are not named. If I were to put a name on a painting, I would be limiting the viewer's freedom to interpret the artwork from his own personal perspective. That task is left to those that take the paintings home. I write the name chosen on the back of the canvas, along with a short dedication and my signature.
“The temporary existence of a scene gives it a personality and an identity of its own. My work is an observation of the world around me; it documents experiences I had and the effect they had in me.
“The recurring motifs in my work are trees, farmland and seascape scenes,” Ynon continues. “I aim for a balanced relationship between the figurative, abstract, color and textural components of the work. A chair sometimes appears in the works symbolizing the viewer’s presence in the experience the artwork portrays.”
These paintings are NOT part of a Limited Edition. Each piece is printed once, making it a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art.
