She’s settled India since 10 years where she lives and creates. Energies and Elements remain her greatest inspiration. The amazing quality of light and the brightest of the colors inspire the creations fully and act in complete synergy. Mirror sculptures catch the daily life in a keen choreography of reflections and lights.
She creates and realizes at Monsoon Heritage studio art pieces and installations since 10 years for alternative spaces, creating atmosphere and experience as inspirational lifestyle, as place to dream, as attitude and do deliver an entertaining and transformative experience, also providing what objects should provide, an oasis of serenity. Her creations are somewhere between art and design, between art and decoration, between pop and fine, between the profane and sacred. “I consider myself not so much artist, but like the artisan in a pursuit of an aesthetic that is my own, who see something that doesn't exist that can bring happiness, emotions or just a touch of love. The connection between energies and art is not only an attractive concept, but a vital part of my work. I always loved the idea that human beings have contact with their surroundings on different level. I love working with mirror…it’s not a selfish mirror, it’s a mirror which reflects L’AUTRE” says Yahel
