About me

(Taurus, watercolor and a touch of quiet)

I was born under the sign of Taurus – a lover of order, beauty… and sensory pleasures.
I’ve admired paintings for years – but never had one on my own wall.
Maybe because I knew how deeply art could touch the silence inside me.

How did I find watercolor?

Slowly.
Art clubs made me anxious. It wasn’t until my daughter dragged me to a painting class that something shifted.
There, I met an artist who showed me watercolor not as a technique – but as a way of seeing.

Taurus meets the water

Watercolor is stubborn. It flows where it wants, fades where it shouldn’t.
The Taurus in me pushed back. Then gave in.
(By the way – you know what helps watercolor glide better? Bull bile. Poetic, right?)

Hastal Fine Arts

This site grew from quiet defiance.
From joy, mistakes, experiments – and long-held images I finally set free.
It’s a blog, shop, studio… and maybe a little breathing room.

Between Prague and Israel

I paint between trams and desert winds.
I collect colors from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, the Negev.
And I try to capture what can’t quite be captured.
