Contemporary abstract Oil paintings
Yehudit Englard born 1946 in Baghdad came to Israel as a 5-year-old child began painting in her forties.
Since than, Englard has worked with increasing intensity, and with an uncompromising determination to expand her field of artistic creativity.
Her work is closely identified with the contemporary art form known as intuitive painting.
Yehudit is an autodidactic artist, free of any shackles or preconceptions, who simply listens to her own internal artistic instincts and gives full rein to the inner strengths waiting to burst free into individual expression.
“I began painting when I understood that everything began from within me – my own truth, intuition, a desire to know and to search, not to yield.
Throughout the process I rely entirely on my feelings, my creativity, while constantly giving my all, with a boundless love for the world, making no allowances for anything else.”
Englard has held a number of impressive exhibitions during the past years.
