ARLENE RABINOWITZ
VISUAL MUSIC ARTIST
Born 1959, in South Africa, based in Israel. Self-taught artist with main interest in visual music art, and Synaesthesia in the arts.
Studied Fine Art at Unisa (South Africa) in 1991 and has continued drawing to music and exploring the relationship between sound and art in realism drawings as well as in abstract art. Spent three decades in the African Bush where much of the art was inspired.
The art revolves broadly around the synthesis between drawing, music and light in the fields of nature, science, and Synesthesia in the arts.
Emphasis is on progressive evolving conceptual art and visual Synesthetic experiences.
Currently working with drawings on paper, (pastel) new media art, animation and video art.
