About

Itzhak (Sachi) Burstein

Painter, Sculptor, Architect

Born in Haifa, Israel in 1955.
Member of the Painters and Sculptors Association in Israel.
Sachi, an architect by profession, completed his studies
at the Technion Institute in Haifa, 1982. Since then, he has
been working as an architect in different sites in Europe.
Sachi's paintings are a travel journal, describing his
impressions of landscapes he encountered.
Starting from photographic documentation of landscapes
on his journeys, he then paints the landscapes in oil, on
very large canvases.
The paintings express Sachi's feelings and reminiscences
of the landscapes, and evolve into a long process of inner
search that can take a year. When complete, the piece
conveys the achievement of growth, and the synthesis of
emotional experience with the painted landscape. Even
then, sometimes, the painter would plunge into the process
again, giving the same landscape a new interpretation.
