Impressionist Israeli artist Yaffa Wainer Biography

My name is Yaffa Wainer. I am an Impressionist-Naturalist artist

I was born in 1949 in Israel by the name of Yaffa Politi.  I have always been interested in art and gained great experience with various materials, techniques, and crafts. My artistic life began as a young woman during the 1970's, and since then art has always been a central part of my life. However, my major exposure and craftsmanship that lasted most is painting. I gained my formal artistic knowledge in several Israeli art institutes and workshops with Israeli artists.

I started to paint professionally while living in the Philippines (1990's). My mentor there was Roger San Miguel, a valued Filipino artist who is known as “The Impressionist of the Philippines”. He tutored me and exposed me to the magical world of Impressionism-Naturalism painting. While in the Philippines I mostly painted my immediate environment. Despite the harshness that was all around, I tried to convey in these paintings the harmony and tranquility that I believe could be found everywhere. During my living in the Philippines I traveled to many Asian countries and their influence is apparent in my paintings.
