Born in Israel, Yosi Messiah is a successful, multi-award-winning figurative and abstract artist based in Sydney. His work is characterised by a love of mark-making, a bold and exuberant colour palette, a vibrant collection of characters and a maelstrom of emotions. Fast and free, his bold colour combinations are an exciting visual experience. His technique of laying down colour and intricate brush strokes in sections, gives a unique sense of depth and movement to his work, bringing the paintings to life. His still life, portraits and seductive figures form a cohesive body of work. His technique is spontaneous and physical with his use of layers and colours.
