All of these pieces, are part of an ongoing series aiming to capture the essence of Jerusalem throughout the centuries! Throughout most of the past three millennium of human history, Jerusalem was seen as the center of the world, the apple of God’s eye, a cradle of civilization. Why not bring a little piece of home, well, home?

Painted on 300g black watercolor paper, with gold leaf paints, each of these pieces are based on historical manuscripts of maps/depictions of Jerusalem, and the notable landmarks it held! The sleek black design, contrasted with the shimmering copper-gold of the paint, which instantly make any room feel more elegant!
