A short introduction to Dr. TAMI KEIDAR
Dr. Tami Keidar a visionary artist known for her bold and expressive works that challenge the boundaries of color, shape and composition. Through her art she invites viewers to experience the world in a new and dynamic way, evoking emotions and sensations that transcend traditional representation. This book explores Dr. Keidar’s artistic journey, techniques, and contributions to the art movement, offering insights into the creative process and the power to inspire and transform. Dr. Keidar has always been able to project a restless spirit that has never been detained by time or adversity. She is a clear example of tireless artistic work. Each piece, like a poem, deserves the analysis and thoughtfulness of the observer. Maybe we may say that each of her works can tell a different story. This book pretends to show the world –thanks to digital media– part of the work of an artist whose sincerity and devotion to the arts and culture has no limits.
