Paintings on Wood presented here represents one of her many art forms. With
Painting on Wood, Porat has been influenced by Pop Art. Porat employs
a unique process starting with transferring light pencil sketches to wood and
using wood colors and varnishing that creates these works of art . It should
be noted that fitting artwork to the frame is an integral part of the work
itself. The frame is painted by hand and combines motifs from the painting.
The painting is placed on a transparent material, which creates the feeling
that the painting is floating.
The subjects of the paintings are drawn from our daily life experiences and
can be characterized as somewhat innocent, colorful and full of joy.
Porat's art is presented worldwide in the finest and most exclusive galleries
such as Porta Porte in Paris, France; The 13th Gallery in Tel Aviv, Israel;
The Pehl Collection, A collection of Modern Fine Arts, Eldersburg, Maryland;
Abbacino Gallery, Venice, Florida; Bel Harbour Temple, Bel Harbour, Florida;
The Chicago Tribute Magnificent Mile, Chicago, Illinois and various galleries
in Florida and the USA.
Philosophy
My creations and paintings are the synthesis of a simple, fine art sensibility
and a distinctive, colorful, artistic atmosphere. I believe that there was,
is and forever shall be, a world in which art is interwoven with our soul
and spirit, which is not restricted to gallery and museum walls, but is a
part of everyday life, enveloping us in a warm, imaginative nest. Creation,
as a primary focus in my live, is dynamic, ever changing and developing.
My art form is forever reinventing itself, in new ideas,
collections & new
directions. My paintings forever express the desire and passion for life, and
the need to experience movement and fluidity.
