Roots & Shoots - A Diptych
Orly Avineri
A diptych is an artwork consisting of two separate pieces intended to be enjoyed together as a pair, viewed next to each other. One can stand alone but it’s most powerful when interacting with the other, connecting in obvious yet mysterious ways. We will be creating two canvases. One will depict our roots, our past, ‘where we are coming from’. The other will depict our shoots, our future, our paths to be, ‘where we are going to’. Standing side by side the two canvases will represent us today. We will be working with multiple media and rich layering processes, materials, and various images, to express the two opposing themes and their connectedness. We will impress ourselves with a dynamic and expressive diptych.
Supply List:
- Two primed canvas panels (roughly 11” x 14”)
- Favorite pens - Sharpies, Sakura B & W gel pens, markers, etc.

I truly believe that the need to be witnessed by the self and by others is a human core need, to be fulfilled by the act of creating, therefore, a compelling part of my journey is the teaching of art making and visual journaling. As a young adult I had studied Fine Arts in an artists' village nestled at the foot of the mystical Mount Carmel, Israel, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, and later, Graphic Design at the University of Arts in the contemporary yet history-drenched city of Utrecht, The Netherlands. Now living in a city by the beach of Southern California with my family, I take in all the magnificence of the visual languages I have acquired along the way. I am passionate about my process of marrying multiple media to create works that are both personal and expressive.
