Yigal Ozeri is a New York-based artist celebrated for his large-scale, photorealistic paintings that blend ethereal beauty with psychological depth. Drawing inspiration from Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, Ozeri captures striking young women in rich landscapes, infusing his work with a sense of fantasy and introspection. Ozeri’s meticulous technique involves photographing his subjects and then translating the images onto canvas with extraordinary precision. Drawing upon contemporaries such as Chuck Close and Gerhard Richter, Ozeri’s work blurs the lines between photography and painting, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of perception and reality. With a strong connection to the art historical tradition of romanticism, Ozeri’s paintings evoke a sense of timeless beauty, longing and nostalgia. His work is widely exhibited and collected internationally, and is featured in prestigious collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art.
