Yair grew up in a religious family but has chosen not to lead a religious lifestyle himself. But his art stayed close to home. Where his roots are.
Yair loves colors, especially blue, and drives his inspiration many a times from nature and creation. The Judaica art he creates is beautiful, designed and inspiring artifacts as objects themselves. When he creates he usually imagines the whole design in his mind and then transfer it into a sketch, or the computer or a prototype.
It all began in Jerusalem in the 90’s with the big wave of Aliyah from the USSR, Yair collected around him people who were gifted craftsmen in drawing on silk, and that was where he started. Today the studio in Jerusalem has 15 people working with Yair. His eldest seamstress is 78 years of age! They still work with silk and wild silk, and also work in wood, ceramic, glass, metal and more.
When asked, Yair answered that his favorite piece is always the last one he created. He dreams of continuing creating Judaica art and also start designing popular art in other departments.
