Artist's Statement
A unique artist and musician trapped in the body of an engineer, Guri has
been painting in watercolors for over 25 years.
“My passion is to capture unique moments and portray feelings and emotions.
In my paintings I attempt to convey my combined love of art and music. I find
inspiration in the beauty of the shapes of music instruments and of the human
figure.”
Born in Israel, Guri moved to the United States 25 years ago. With his
distinctively strong and brilliant watercolors, Guri made a name for himself
as an artist in Israel, Denver Colorado, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San
Diego, California where he participated in numerous shows, exhibitions and
galleries.
“Art is the most sincere way to express feelings. People can pretend, stretch
the truth or lie about who they are and what they feel, but, there are no lies in
a painting.”
“For me, the experience of painting is similar to writing a poem. You’ve got
to feel it in your gut; you have to have something unique to say. And the
process may be painful, until it finally comes to life on the canvas. But at the
end, there is nothing more fulfilling and satisfying anyone could experience.”
