"Naftali Salomon, a superb Israeli painter... provides us a window to his multicolor words of creativity,
and a rare opportunity to experience Israeli art that is rare and superb in quality"
Mr. D. Polak, Curator, the artist's Museum Israel
-------------------------------------------------
"The light, the sky, the earth and trees all become actors in a scene, wherein Salomon's soul
units with the reality and affects it…
In sharp colors and brush strokes that turns into motion and form… This is landscape painting in its best"
Mr. A. Aharonson, Curator, The museum of Israeli Art, Israel
-------------------------------------------------
"Naftali Salomon's painting jumps with ease on both sides of the abstract line…this with a very
harmonic painting which achieves quality through sheer coloristic craft, using multi-layer
colors, balanced by thick, highly confident lines…"
Mr. Emanuel Bar Kedma, Art Journalist
