About Naomi Alexander ROI

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

Naomi Alexander prefers to have a project in mind when she starts a painting. For the last eight years she has been working on Jewish subjects in Lithuania. Naomi often travels to Israel where her source of inspiration are the interiors of Arab houses. Also her immediate family and domestic scenes are important to her.

Method of Working

Naomi's main medium is oil paint, although she does also use watercolour and printmaking, using canvas or watercolour paper as a vehicle. She uses a projector to throw her images on the canvas before she creates, experimenting with composition. Naomi's material is very personal to her and she often has to travel abroad to obtain it. She tends to work on just one project at a time and she works from her sketches. Occasionally, she paints straight onto canvas if she is doing a portrait. Depending on the commission it can take me anything from 60 hours to 900, or in the case of a residency, two years.
