Portfolio Notes

Image Restorations:

Sometimes I am reaching perfect results in manner of recovery (i.e. restoration, enhancement, improvement and/or else), sometimes I am reaching near-perfect results, sometimes good results and sometimes only fair or even poor results.
All of it based on different reasons and factors.

At the end, every single photo that I am showing on my website as well as photos that I have decided to send to a customer – All of which are at least in “good” outcome or in other words, a result that is sufficiently satisfactory according to my taste and standards. Otherwise, it is not worth to be shown here or to be used.

I am dedicated to the artistic quality but also to the preciseness and authenticity.

Multidisciplinary Art:

This page will hold my entire art collection from when I was a little boy (perhaps 5 years old), continuing with elementary school until middle school. This period is comprised mainly with perhaps juvenile, naïve, simple art pieces, as for this was my starting point and a time when I gained more and more experiences. However, some art pieces I personally considering as a more advanced, developed and/or complete and therefore I am presenting them separately, inside (with) my different collections: Painting, Sculptures……

In my art book that I started to write about 3 years ago to document all of the art regarding myself and my father, I divided my section according to the story of my life – Meaning, the main sub-section about my main pieces that were usually (or always) being presented in our home and/or pieces that I like more or count to be more important. besides this there are other additional sub-section, as follows:

•

Main pieces:

My main or best pieces, as mentioned above.

•

Early childhood

All sorts of works by a small child. You can see different kind of drawings, sculptures, collages, and others from when I was a child between the ages of 1-6 (corresponding to the years 1987-1994 approximately). Some of them, although made during this period, fall under the sub-section of the main pieces.

Most of my artwork is gone. I think that the main reason is perhaps due to the fact that normally they are not regard as something special and not being kept. Anyway, I only have pieces from my Kindergarten (Age 5-6) and thereby the more relevant sub-section will be the “Kindergarten Period“.

•

School:

Various of artworks created through the elementary school and middle school (corresponding to the years 1995-2004 approximately).

•

High School (+ Art Program):

Various of artworks created through high school (corresponding to the years 2004-2006 approximately).

I took an expended learning in the full-matriculation curriculum (Hebrew: בגרות מורחבת) in art (8 units) and in biology (5 units).

The “expended learning” (“advanced learning”) or “art program” (Hebrew: “מגמת אמנות”) involved art, history of art and design, that all together, comprised those 8 units. The “art” was mostly a workshop when we (I and my fellow pupils) learned and experienced with different materials and techniques, and in the end of the year we had a final work (paper), which in this case, it was an exhibition. In the first 2 years it was general exhibition with the works we did throughout the year and we had to choose a few of our best.

In the 3rd and final year, among general art, we were also dedicated to a topic – We chose a topic that perhaps was interesting or meaningful and in the end, again, we held an exhibition, each had its own space to show his works about his chosen topic, and also we had to gave a name for each piece and add artistical information and analysis. My topic was about the term of “Façade”, meaning, “an outward appearance”.

Regrading, “history of art”, is that it was just like any other history classes (like, human culture and more), but in this case about art from many-many periods, from early on, “Prehistoric Art” (such as paintings that can be found on cave walls), fast forward to the “Baroque” and “Neo-classicism” until “Modern Art“.

“Cavim” preparatory:

I wanted to study and eventually, become an industrial designer. In order to do so there were 2 requirements:

Each institution (or college) that I wanted to get accepted to, had its own requirement, but generally, was to create few designs or art pieces that are based on their instructions – One that I can remember was to design a durable case for banana fruit that is made completely from paper. All of those pieces I needed to take with me in the “acceptance day” – I needed to place my pieces on they dedicated tables with my name on it, alongside the other pieces of the other contestants. Besides this i had to to and art exam which was…….
Upon acceptance, as described on bullet number 1, I would entered the 2nd phase to show my personal portfolio.

Because, of what is described, under the above bullet numbers, I decided to enlist into a preparatory in design in the “Cavim Institute” and get prepared. This was from November 2009 until the beginning of 2010 (perhaps around of ____????).

•

“Bezalel” / “Shenkar” / “HIT”:

As mentioned above, I wanted to get prepared to the acceptance examination in industrial design and therefore, I took a preparatory in “Cavim Institute“. My goal was to eventually become an industrial designer. I have tried the 3 major places:

However, I wasn’t succeeded and turned to nutrition, sport and biology.

•

Not-“Midlife Crisis”:

From 30 until now

Photography:

Just bunch of photos I have taken throughout my entire life. From the so many thousands of photos I have taken, some in bad shape, some are in good shape but are slightly different for the reason to peak the best one, some are simply one good shot. Eventually, I am presenting here, at the website, the best ones or the ones I thought are precious, important or cool to share.

Moreover, some are more complex by being a “panorama” (various of photos being attached together) or crated by other methods, or bunch of photos created by other means.

Digital Art

Unlike the “AI Adaptations”, that will be explained ahead, in this case, “Digital Art” is any kind or art I created digitally and solely by myself, without any AI and as as such, the ‘Traffic Light’ method that will be mentioned ahead, irrelevant.

Example is the piece “The Cheerful Big Talker“, on the right (for more browse inside “Digital Creations” and look for pieces without the ‘Traffic Light’).

AI Adaptations:

When I am saying Bad, Fair, Good or Excellent is the amount of similarity between what was in my imagination and my ability to create it (i.e. “pull it out of my head to the real world”).

Sometimes I am reaching perfect results in manner of

I am dedicated to the artistic quality but also to the preciseness ________????>>>

Under each AI creation I will include a sign of “🟢”, “🟡” or “🔴” which means the amount of work I needed to put in order to create it or rather that it was mostly produced by AI. This ‘Traffic Light’ method will be classified by:

Whether if it was a simple or hard job – Meaning, took me minutes or hours to complete.
Whether if it was written as a simple AI’s process in only one click (one attempt).
Whether I needed to use different AI’s

In a way this can also be looked from the stand point of:

I worked the the mouse cursor, applied different brushes, different tools to create my digital art, entirely by myself.
I have used AI with:
1. basic themes which is easy.
2. multiple AI’s which is easy but several or a lot of steps.
3. AI/AI’s with my input (command) with or without several steps or with or without further editing.

*	All of which, could be edited further more and in-between.

All of which (the five bullets points), I will put under consideration and decide the right kind of signing.

When or if it was a multi-step creation, which could be after hard work or many steps, that could be either as hard work following with a single AI step, or with a single work with single AI or few AI’s (together) with many steps and editing in-between. Therefore, In this case, it will be classified as “🟣”.
