About:

Artist and professional photographer who lives and works in Israel and teaches art photography at Artistico, a photography school in Tel Aviv.

Arik focused on Abstract Photography.
In 2009, he earned first place in the Abstract category at the International Juried Photography Competition in Florida, USA.
Arik considers Abstract Photography to be the most innovative and inspiring form of art.
He takes an otherwise unremarkable photo and shoots it at exactly the right light, angle, or focus to produce a work of art of colours, patterns, and textures.

'Photography is an art of observation,' remarked Elliot Erwitt, adding '...it's all about how you see things!'
Arik's photography is built on keen observation and the creation of images with an interesting composition and a distinct point of view.
