CLARI NETZER – Harmonious Composition
Clari Netzer was born in 1961 in Monterrey, N.L, México. She is the youngest daughter in a family of Romanian Jews who immigrated to México in mid 1950’s after surviving the Holocaust. She is a self-taught artist and says she had discovered her passion for art at a very young age.
In México, she was attracted to the primitive art of different cultures that had lived there in ancient times. This influence is considerably noticeable in her artworks and in her activities as an Israeli artist today.
After studying abroad and graduating with a B. A in Communication Sciences,
Clari immigrated to Israel in 1983 to live in Kibbutz Ein Gev.
Over the years in Israel, Clari Netzer has worked in various areas, including 12 years as Import and Purchasing Manager for a leading private-owned company with worldwide selective cosmetics products. Her longing to express her desire to develop creative art led her to leave her career in management and devote herself to art. Her paintings are showcased in Exhibitions in Israel and abroad and can be found in public and private collections. Along her artistic work she lectures to promote the role of women in the arts.
She currently resides and
works in Carmiel.
“My paintings are characterized by dualism and color rooted in México, where I grew up. I make use of contrasting elements which eventually reach balance and harmony.
I intend to denote a state of two parts, a view about the relationship between mind and matter where two opposites co-exist in harmony.
The colors, lines and forms are a continuous challenge that leads me to constantly experiment with new styles, from figurative to abstraction. My artworks show a prominent harmonious composition, symbolisms and figures that add a dimension of mystery to the pictorial narrative, yet are full the senses and share meticulous aesthetics.”
