Highly in touch with his feminine side and celebrating women and the
feminine in many of his paintings and body art, Yaari depicts life as it
is - from chaos to order - reflecting the interplay throughout. Well
studied, his artwork can be a magical moment for any age viewer, bridging
the gaps to generations to come.
While only in his 40's Yaari has exhibited his art for 31 years in 32
countries, showing his first paintings publicly at age four in his
native Israel, and coming to international renown while in his teens,
living in Europe, Mexico and the United States. A master of light and
color and the ethereal, the prolific artist is presently working on a
new clothing and home furnishings collection which he will debut in
April, and series of 3-D animation, digital and fine art which will go
on view soon after in May.
In addition to his majestic art being included in some of the finest
collections on three continents, including commissions for the Olympics,
World Expo and Grand Prix, Yaari is a father of four, relentless
advocate and activist for children and world peace, and exemplar of what
it means to be "an artist of LIFE." The Yaari Foundation for the Arts -
which he formed in 1974 to serve in an advisory capacity in support of
non-profits throughout the world - has assisted over 100 organizations
including the Art Auction for the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games, the
Hunger Project, Reach Australia, International Toy Bank, International
Hospice, and The Art of LIVING Coalition with his generous contribution
to our Women's Day International 2003 event COSION.
