Tslil Tsemet
2023
Through art, I examine the human species via the social and cultural values that we bond ourselves to, and the collective ideals we grasp in order to maintain sanity. My work inspired by a variety of cultures, religions, mythologies, and philosophies. I like to create art that stimulates many parts of the brain at the same time; that is it simultaneously funny, disgusting, attractive, twisted, sad, happy, scary, mysterious, confusing, beautiful, and ugly — just like life.

My work is inspired by a variety of cultures, religions, mythologies, and philosophies. I like to create art that stimulates many parts of the brain at the same time; that is simultaneously funny, disgusting, attractive, twisted, sad, happy, scary, mysterious, confusing, painful, beautiful, and ugly — just like life.
I use painting to challenge the existing social-cultural and political norms.
It’s both sarcastic and optimistic, and has often been described as provocative.
I believe art has fast, immediate access to the viewer's subconscious mind, and it has the ability to help us evolve, expand and shift our perception.
