My work has frequently been called
'experiential art' – a process more concerned with the act of experiencing than with the events themselves. Steffa Reis

About the Artist
Steffa Reis in her studio, Safed, 1970s
A veteran Israeli artist based in Tel Aviv, Steffa Reis works in painting, drawing, and printing techniques, constantly moving between figuration and abstraction, the expressive and the lyrical, and between monochrome and enhanced coloration. Throughout the extensive body of her work, the local landscape affords her a central source of inspiration, a point of departure, and a main subject. Her art is a visual and emotional expression of the sights she has encountered, captured and etched in her memory. Many of her works are also influenced by classical music, ever present in her studio and painting process.
