About the Artist

 

 

Yorum Gal

"Since 1977 I have been writing plays and screenplays, painting, directing, acting and producing shows for my own traveling theater company. My acting career has taken me across the continents as I have appeared in Israeli, British and American movies. All the while designing sceneries for my plays and actively exhibiting in shows of my paintings.

"Old Jaffa has been my home since 1978. I can't think of a more inspiring place to work. I am married to writer/director/producer Nill DolanGal and we have a beautiful 6-year old son Nimrod.

I paint in oil watercolors and also work in combined technique on canvas. My works are often characterized by rich colors, sensual drama, and lyricism. I love watercolors and use a great variety of different sorts of them combined in a special mixture to give the brightness and contrasts intensity and softness I like."
