Ilana Aviv

Ever since I was very young I admired those special layers effects of the rocks.

It took years of effort to perfect my medium and I am the only one in the world who is doing it. My sculptures are the outcome of  A labor of love and imagination

It is filled with a great deal of movement and energy.

In my works the layers represent the complexity of the human soul

Which is an accumulation of experiences, wishes, emotions.

My work  invites the viewer to explore the hidden inner parts of  one's soul.

I am considered as an artist of the Earth in its most primordial, essential, life-giving form.

My wall sculptures invite a response as natural objects or places.

and suggest a perceptually grand scale.They are touching  in its sensuality, and innovative in its materials and technique, which brings about a resurgence of interest in the visualization  of desert landscape,  and its  association with the human spirit and soul and its complexity.
