My name is Moshe Moneta.
I'm a graphic designer, an artist and have a degree in mechanical engineering.
The recognition that drives me through all my art works is that both the paintings and the sculptures are not really still.
They have a spirit of life.
Therefore, many of my works based upon ancient fragments and broken pieces of clay I find along the shore line of Caesaria, Israel.
In every such piece of clay, I see a sort of greeting from the past; a small piece of an artist’s or craft man work which was surely useful to or enjoyed by the people of the time.
Those creations were destroyed, broken, buried and forgotten, and their context was lost but I feel, that still, you can find some flashing hints of the living human spirit who created them some time in the distant past.
And so, when I'm using them in my creations I give them once more a meaning and purpose, as though I bring them ”back to life”, giving them a new destiny.
