Welcome to Judaic Art by Gilat!

In this virtual tour of my portfolio, I invite you to see some of my favorite work. You are invited to contact me by phone at 305-255-4197 or by email at gilat@gilatart.com. We can discuss how a new, customized artwork can be made. Using precisely the text you prefer, along with color schemes, elements and style that will compliment it and keep the work within your budget and time frame.

This site showcases one-of-a-kind art pieces created for customers on an individual basis. I will work with you to create unique artwork to fit the circumstances, based on your input and feedback.

I am an Israeli born artist who resides in Miami with my husband and daughter. I grew up in a village surrounded by orchards near Hertzlia, on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. With my family I spent some years living in Australia and South Africa.

After serving in the Israeli Air Force as a lieutenant, I joined Kibbutz Yahel in the southern Arava desert. In the late eighties I came to the U.S. with my family to pursue studies and I have a BFA degree from Indiana University. With my husband and daughter I have lived in Spain, the Midwest and California.

For the past two decades I have been creating artwork in print, pencraft, illustration and papercuts. The subjects of my Judaica are taken from the Siddur, the Tanach, the Sayings of the Elders and the Liturgy of holidays and Life cycle. Motifs in my art come from the natural world and the graphic forms in ancient Jewish artifacts and manuscripts.

My Ketubbot, which are each individually customized to the couple that is celebrated in them, have found homes in Israel and all over America. My papercuts and prints are also made one at a time as monoprints or in small editions of similar works. In my art I employ traditional elements, color schemes, geometric patterns and symmetry as well as abstract forms.
