Yaffa Wainer

I was born in 1949 in Israel, as Yaffa Politi. I have always been interested in art and gained great experience with various materials, techniques, and crafts. My artistic life began as a young woman during the 1970's, since then art has always been a central part of my life. I gained my formal artistic knowledge in several Israeli art institutes. However, my major exposure and craftsmanship that lasted most is painting.

I started to paint professionally while living in the Philippines (1990's). My mentor there was Roger San Miguel a valued Filipino artist "The Impressionist of the Philippines", who tutored me and exposed me to the magical world of Impressionism- Naturalism painting. While in the Philippines I mostly painting my immediate environment. Despite the harshness that was all around, I try to convey in these paintings the harmony and tranquility that I believe could be found everywhere. During my living in the Philippines I traveled to many Asian countries and their influence is apparent in my paintings.

Currently I'm attending workshops of well-known Israeli painters and my artistic career further developed. My themes are now inspired by national and international pastoral and the natural harmony that exists almost everywhere if one is able to uncover it is as I am trying to do in my paintings. By using powder and oil special mixture technique the Fabric of colors at my paintings is special.
