Biography: Kosman
Shaul Kosman was born in 1959 at Kaunas in Lithuania, and since 1997 he has resided in Israel.
Kosman completed his artistic studies at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 1983, but dabbled in other areas of education during his time as a student. While growing up, he was surrounded by an atmosphere of classic European architecture in the Baltics, which served as inspiration for his architectural studies.
In addition to his accomplishments as an artist, Kosman find great joy in his ability to play various musical instruments. Since childhood, he played jazz and painted during his free time, and these passions are ever present in his visual art pieces.
After immigrating to Israel in 1997, Kosman's love for classic shapes and jazz music transferred into a deep understanding of the pulse of the modern city. Having grown up in the historic Baltic region of Eastern Europe, surrounded by elegant, classical buildings and palaces, he has found a central theme and inspiration for his paintings. He sees his paintings as a unique combination of the spontaneity of jazz, as well as the structures within architecture. Visually speaking, these elements of inspiration for Kosman are depicted throughout his compositions, where architectural references and musical instruments intermingle within a rich acrylic palette. Kosman's application is thick and highly textured, as he builds up layers vibrant colour. Kosman's ultimate goal is to seduce the viewers of his work into a heaven of musical lightness and festiveness.
