An island of translucent cobalt and cloud white is delineated by fissures and curated marks in this introspective composition by Jutta Naim. The layered, burnished surface is reminiscent of palimpsest fresco walls.

Naim's artwork explores the creative psychological state, a meditative place through which inspiration emerges and guides her mark-making. "...I find myself marking the plaster, ever so indirectly, with ancient like symbols, perhaps to substantiate a sense of authenticity and balance to the images within the work . I believe that their presence offers a sense of nobility, a stability..." Born in 1942 and raised in Germany, Naim has lived most of her life in Canada and Israel working as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Naim has exhibited in Israel since 1995 and Canada since 2014. Her work is held in private collections in Israel and Canada.
