Clari Netzer's Art is influenced by her years of living in Mexico, her love for the primitive art of the diferent cultures that lived in ancient Mexico, the folklore and history of Mexican Art. Clari Netzer is an Israeli artist who gives expression to her roots through bold color paintings and contrasting compositions.
As with the Aztecs who believed in dualism, her paintings show contrasting elements which eventually come to balance and harmony. Her paintings show a prominent harmonious composition, symbolisms and figures that add a dimension of mystery to the pictorial narrative, yet are full the senses and share meticulous aesthetics.
The colors, lines and forms are a continual challenge that leads her to constantly experiment with new styles, from figurative to abstraction, she introduces the viewer to originality and creativity of her own vision.
Rather than the often conventional subject matter, Clari Netzer's art expresses much more than literal representation: the colors, the movement, and sometimes the contadictory compositions bring forth the power of the painting.
..."I am against the idea of there being three or four thousands ways to interpret my work, there should be no more than one interpretation and it has to include, in a certain way, nature, which after all is no more than a conflict between myself and the outer world..." Picasso (Picasso the Genious of the Century-TASCHEN Art Books).
Artist Clari Netzer was born in Monterrey, N.L, Mexico. She is the youngest daughter of Rumanian Jews and Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Mexico in mid 1950's.
Clari Netzer discovered her passion for painting and art early. Through informative material and mixing colors she experimented different painting forms and developed her own art techniques.
In Mexico she was attracted by the Primitive Art of different cultures that lived in ancient Mexico, the folklore and Mexican Art History. This influence is considerably noticeable in her paintings and in her activities as an Israeli artist today.
