GITTY FUCHS

About the Artist:

Gitty Fuchs is American Israeli artist known for her expressive paintings that capture the spiritual atmosphere and architectural beauty of Jerusalem. Originally from The Bronx, New York, she made Aliyah with her family to Israel at the young age of 9. “The moment I stepped onto the hallowed earth, Israel claimed me as her own, feeling the stories she could tell”. 

Inspired by abstract expressionism and fauvism, Fuchs developed her signature style in depicting multilayered large-scale landscapes that are designed to feel like windows into Jerusalem, allowing viewers to experience one of the world’s most meaningful cities  filled with light, energy and unmatched spiritual aura wherever they are. Fuchs uses oil and acrylic paints, brushes and palette knives to create layered work in texture and depth. Her artmaking process itself is symbolic of the intricate, layered subject matter she illustrates. 

“I spend most of my time just observing the glory, spiritual aura, the dreamy air and the light. My goal is to find a new way to captivate and reignite these feelings wherever the viewer is and impact lives with art”. 

Fuchs’ art journey led her to learn from local artists, as well as Russian immigrants who taught in art academies in Moscow. She has since gone on to garner recognition from the Painter & Sculptors Association in Haifa and Northern Region. She taught in the Israeli Ministry of Arts and Culture for 30 years before beginning to sell her work, when covid-19 hit. Taking off, her work has since been exhibited in galleries throughout Israel and internationally, her paintings are held in private and corporate collections across the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia and beyond.

 “It will be a great honor for me to help you be inspired and feel connected to Jerusalem with my art.” ”If I could express it in words, there would be no painting”. – Gitty Fuchs
