About Me

I was born in 1973 in Tel Aviv, Israel.  Inspired by the magic of the first camera I received as a youngster, I studied both photography and art.

In 1995, after my military service in the Israeli army, I left Israel to explore life outside my country and eventually settled in Philadelphia.

In the ensuing years, I thrust myself into professional photography.  My work ranged from fashion to advertising.

In 2004 I opened Qbix Gallery, thus realizing my dream to create a platform for emerging and established artists. I also published The Q Magazine, to spread art in all its facets beyond the limiting borders of gallery space.  The gallery successfully represented 52 different artists from around the world.

All the while I had been exploring and working with various artistic mediums. Mostly self-taught, I had experimented with materials such as wood and metal. Years of experimenting culminated with a new and innovative way for me to express my artistic passion, with Resin as the material of choice.  A combination of ancient Hebraic texts and a new process I named 3DIP ART , Three Dimensional Infused Process, yields beautiful, ethereal artwork that is both unique and refreshing in the world of art and design.
