Good morning everyone 🖖I wanted to post something uplifting today as it is Shabbat eve, but then I saw the news!At the moment I am so furious that I am speechless!At the moment I am so terrified for all of us that I don’t know what to say.Well, I am proud to be an American!I am proud that Jewish people have our country, Israel!May the freedom and democratic values prevail!When fanaticism of other ...
Bom dia! Good morning! Boker tov!Shabbat Shalom to all 🖖✡️🎗Here is something different.Google translate that I use a lot in my life has a voice function.You can see your text translated in writing to whatever language you need and hear how words sound.I have several languages programmed into my phone.Yiddish is the only one that doesn’t have a voice function.One can see it written (as well as Engl...
Some days I just have to unplug myself from the world and watch old shows on tv.Yesterday was such a day.Some days we appreciate life and others we have to remind ourselves how lucky we are to be alive, to be able to move freely, to make friends…A rabbi once explained to me that mezuzah is attached to the door not as a symbol of protection from the outside world (Let’s face it, mezuzah never prote...
There are 9 calendars left.For friends here in Portugal and anywhere in Europe where there’s no Jewish store to go to purchase a calendar, here is your chance 😊For those who love my art, this calendar for next Jewish year has 12…actually 13 with the cover, reproductions of my artwork.Only one calendar has American holidays.The other 8 are with Jewish holidays only.Here is a link that will take you...
Shabbat shalom and Chag Pesah Sameach 🖖✡️🎗️
Hi everyone!I’ve created a calendar for the next Jewish year 5785.I know that Jewish calendars aren’t easy to come by in Portugal.How about Spain and the rest of Europe?If you are interested, you can contact me via messenger or go to Etsy.
Good morning, bom dia, boker tov!Shabbat Shalom to all 🖖This artwork is called Twelve Tribes.Each Star of David has a name of one tribe in it and if you look carefully you will see a hamsah (the hand), protective Sephardic symbol in the center. This is one of the larger papercuts cut from a single piece of silkscreened paper.How many cuts?Easily thousand or more...Originally I wanted to name this ...
Good morning!New week! New month!Wishing you all a good week ahead 🖖I’ve created a very first “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine “ as a gift for my parents wedding anniversary.It hangs prominently in their living room 😊When I create a drawing first, the artwork often goes through metamorphosis while I cut different versions based on the same design.Remember, I’ve never done calligraphy. It’...
Good morning 😊Bom Sunday Domingo 🖖💐I have came to Florida in mid March.While enjoying my family and helping around the house I’ve been matting some newly created 20 artworks that I brought from Portugal. As well as some small pieces…especially black and white drawings that I rarely show.And of course worked on a calendar.It’s a work vacation you might say!If you know of a venue where this work cou...
Good morning, Bom dia, Boker Tov!Shabbat Shalom to all!“We praise you, Eternal G-d, sovereign of the Universe, for the wonder we have experienced, we give thanks”“Happy is the person loyal to G-d, who greatly delights in the Eternal One’s commandments!His descendants will be honored in the land, the generations of upright will be blessed.”“His household prospers, and his righteousness endures fore...
Hey Portugese and European people 😁If you are interested in a Jewish calendar please message me 🖖If you are interested in Jewish calendar with my artwork message me too 😊
Good morning! Bom dia! Boker tov!Shabbat Shalom to all 🖖Tomorrow is the start of my favorite holiday Purim. 🎉🎉🎉Growing up in a former Soviet Union we were not encouraged to celebrate religious holidays. We were all supposed to be good marxists and atheists.So of course many did.We celebrated in secret. We made the traditional food and (my family was lucky) my great uncle could read Yiddish as well...
Good morning all!I have added this artwork to my instagram (yap I have a KronickArtStudio_ account) and Etsy.Bublichki is an old song, a Yiddish song, a sad song (though you would never know from a melody).It’s a song of my childhood like so many Yiddish songs are.our culture is so ancient and considering our history is so multicultural.We adopted different aspects of the cultures we had to live w...
Good morning, Bom dia and Boker tov to all!It’s early Friday morning in Florida but closer to an afternoon in Europe and Israel, so I want to wish you all a good day, a safe weekend and a truly peaceful Shabbat!Shabbat shalom wherever you are 🖖💐It’s nice to be home!I think this papercut, Miriam Dancing, reflects best the spirit of pure joy.I’ve created it to celebrate womanhood and the strength of...
Good evening everyone 🖖I made it to Florida!I spent a whole day going through my artwork, removing pieces I have in Portugal from the Etsy shop and putting up artwork that is here in storage.I did not do it last year because many pieces were in a show in Texas.This year I’ll add some to the shop.Most pieces are available framed but due to the high shipping cost I offer them for sale unframed.If yo...
Hello everyone 🖖I have started this page 2 years or so ago to separate my judaica art from the art dedicated mainly to Portugal I thought I would create upon my move.As an old saying goes “if you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans”Moving away from the world I’ve known sharpen my desire to be a part of my tribe.I didn’t grow up in an observant family but rather a traditional one. I see peo...
Good evening to all 😊🖖The symbol for the month of Adar (kind of like zodiac) is a fish.Adar is the month when we celebrate my favorite holiday Purim.Purim, a Jewish carnival with emphasis on storytelling and purimshpils, is a celebration of our survival…like so many Jewish holidays.over the years I have created a number of artworks based on queen Ester and even one based on Vashti. However fish be...
I have been creating papercuts for almost 30 years now.From small simple designs that were first drawn I went to large intricate freehand papercuts.From artworks cut from a single piece of paper I went to colorful collages.Lately I’ve been creating many smaller mosaic like pieces and often using watercolors for background.Here are a couple of new miniature papercuts.sold matted.Sizes (approximatel...
