Originating from Israel, Gila Bella Tsilibon is a dedicated alumna of the "Smadar" art school, where she honed her skills in oil painting.Her artistic repertoire extends to acrylics, oils, and pencil drawings, with a primary focus on portraits and landscapes. Yet, it is her distinct naïve flair that truly distinguishes her work. Drawing and creating have been constants in Gila’s life since she was just four years old, serving as both a source of joy and a therapeutic outlet.For Gila, art transcends mere aesthetics; it is deeply personal. Navigating the challenges associated with mental health, particularly stemming from her father’s PTSD after his service in the IDF during the Yom Kippur War, Gila has found solace and expression through her art. It is not just a hobby for her, but a vital form of self-expression and healing.Gila’s approach to art is refreshingly unconfined by conventional styles. Guided by her vivid imagination, she explores a variety of themes and techniques, blending naivety with a touch of realism in her creations. This fusion results in art that invites a second glance, capturing the viewer’s imagination with its simplicity and depth.What energizes Gila about painting is the opportunity to create her own realms of escape—vibrant spaces filled with color and life. She is not interested in painting mundane scenes; there must be movement, a dynamic element, or intricate details to engage her interest. Without these, the art feels lackluster to her. Gila’s work is an invitation to explore these crafted worlds, each piece a testament to her journey and resilience.
