Baruch Nachshon, was born in 1939 in Haifa, Israel, at a time when Israel was known as Mandatory Palestine (from 1917-1948).
Nachshon's reputation has been growing rapidly as a painter of beauty, feeling and depth. He is a deeply religious person and his works reflect his love of Israel's landscapes and his own mystical religious visions. Nachshon's canvases express a yearning for fulfillment and redemption in the spirit of Judaism's ancient traditions. "The Jewish past has been well-represented in art," says Nachshon. "so has the present. But no one has represented the future - the Messianic Age." This is the task he has undertaken. His images, colors and shapes communicate a spiritual dimension: they are permeated with light and celebration.
