About the Artist: 
Roi studied from 2002-2006 at the renowned Hershberg School of Art in Jerusalem. He is drawn towards the classical tradition in painting with artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Piero della Francesca and contemporary painters such as Morandi and Balthus influencing his work.
His subject matter includes landscape, figure and still life.  His use of the effect of light is dramatic and atmospheric and his colour palette restrained and sensitive.  Roi brings to his paintings a refreshing interpretation and poetic feel through his very singular approach and painterly handling of familiar themes.
Roi has exhibited his work in Ireland, Israel and Holland.
