Jersualem's Golden Alleys

This unique painting done by Oz El Hai, crafted on curved wood, offers a modern perspective on an ancient city.
The wood is first painted with a layer of white car paint, creating a smooth surface,
and then finished with a clear lacquer for added depth and sheen.
The artwork itself portrays the old city of Jerusalem,
brought to life in stark black and white oil paint,
a choice that emphasizes the timeless beauty and enduring spirit of the city.
Gold highlights and lines are intricately woven into the cityscape,
adding a touch of elegance and symbolizing the city's sacred status in Israeli culture.
These golden accents not only illuminate the city's iconic features
but also serve as a metaphor for the spiritual and historical richness of Israel.
The painting is frameless, enhancing its contemporary aesthetic and ensuring
that the focus remains entirely on the evocative image of Jerusalem.
Ready to hang, it is a statement piece that connects the past and present of Israel in an artistically sophisticated manner.
