Artist Gal Artzi was born in 1992 in Moshav Givati, on the coastal plain in Israel. He showed an interest in art and aesthetics from an early age. He used to draw and paint, and his love for the beauty, warmth, and energy found in nature can be detected in his early works.
When Artzi was 22 years old he discovered his love for glass; “Glass is an ancient and multidimensional raw material that brings colors to life and plays with light and shadow, transparency and clarity and endless combinations of variations”.
Over the years Artzi has conducted many experiments in glass. The search for the amorphic and natural flow converged to using materials such as iron and aluminum meshes that first formed a mold for the glass and later became works in their own right.
Artzi’s works express nature in all its glory; wild vegetation, the depths of the sea, vast green spaces, and powerful skies are the basis of his works. Sometimes nature is represented as is, and sometimes it escapes to the whimsical world of Artzi’s imagination.

Artzi’s artistic approach is abstract, naive, and sometimes even fanciful. His works represent the contrast between his ideal childhood in the Moshav and the complex Israeli reality and between sharp, hard materials and naive performances that were taken as if from a fantasy.
“Dozens of times I injured myself when touching the sharp glass and iron, but the danger attracted me. Many nights I studied the glass and developed a relationship with it. It felt like training a wild beast, continuously trying to tame it and not letting it break me. Maybe it was the subconscious that led me to materials that are difficult to train”
