Omer Udvin is a young Israeli artist diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. For him, painting is a meaningful window to the world, allowing him to express himself in ways he is ordinarily unable to do.
Art is the twist in Omer’s endless journey of coping with autism. As a young boy, Omer objected even to holding a pen in his hand. His extraordinary drawing abilities were discovered only at the age of 17, and since then, despite his young age, he has developed a unique artistic style of his own and a personal artistic imprint.
His paintings are characterized by their abstraction, daring bold color pallets, and a naïve-optimistic perception and view of our world. Omer’s artistic work is influenced by the expressionist modern artists such as Amedeo Modigliani, Egon Schiele, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and more… He is also inspired by his great fondness for old cartoons and animation.
Art is Omer’s primary way to express himself and the way he experiences life. Colors, paint, and brushes became the keys to share his feelings and give others access to his inner world. In his work, he used various techniques, mainly acrylic on canvas, watercolors and mixed media incorporating fabrics.
