A link in an email sent me to a fantastic video - I couldn’t stop watching the artistic piece. The video, called Just Imagine is like nothing you’ve ever seen, I promise. Artist Ilana Yahav, in Israel, I think, uses her graceful hands and fingers, some colored sand, a glass bottomed workspace and music to create the most restful and pleasing art.
Ilana Yahav weaves sand colors together to create scenes of marvelous liquidity - women with long, flowing tresses, birds in flight, kisses stopped in time - then ripples her lovely fingers across the surface to obliterate the image and replace it with a new one. It’s mesmerizing.
The artist is as much the art as her medium and subjects are.
You must see these - then buy the one for babies - it will soothe you and the child in your life. Called Baby Sandy, this, her latest, takes you into a world of animals, children, flowers and peace. Worth every penny. Every penny.
