Who I am
Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern
I put on canvas what I cannot convey in words. I start as an artist where I cannot move on as a scholar. My art starts where my scholarship ends. My art transcend the way I work and think; it challenges any discourse I am part of.
What I am
My path to art was long but by no means straight. I have had two careers, one as a literary scholar and another as a historian, before I finally realized: art is my passion.
I put on canvas what I cannot convey in words. I start as an artist where I cannot move on as a scholar and precisely where I end up as a scholar I start as an artist. Art allows me to transcend the way I work and think; it helps me challenge any discourse I am part of.
