ALON TALMI

​Hello,
I would like to introduce myself, my name is Alon Talmi. I was born and raised in a village in the north of Israel. Ever since I remember myself, I was attracted to nature and hiking, in the beginning with my father and later in life with my kids. While hiking, I was always on the look on the marvel of nature, noticing various images that are portrayed by nature and the wild. My imagination took me on imaginary trips filling them up with stories.
My passion for art exposed me to certain specific artists whose works exhibit a strong connection between art, nature, and the human feelings. One of the artists, whose work influenced me the most, is Antoni Pitxot.
During the creation of my own work, I feel how the materials from nature communicate with me and guide me through the process. The emotions I experience during the work and the hidden feelings of the materials influence the whole process. Hence, the mix of nature and man-made creation are expressed in my works.
The most important stage in creating the work is photographing. The reflection of the light creates an imagery, freezing a moment into a single frame. This frame manifests nature and presents the hidden feelings in it, including all of the human strengths and weaknesses.
