Artist Clari Netzer was born in Monterrey, N.L, Mexico. She is the youngest daughter of Rumanian Jews and Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Mexico in mid 1950's. Clari Netzer discovered her passion for painting and art early. In Mexico she was attracted by the Primitive Art of different cultures that lived in ancient Mexico, the folklore and Mexican Art history. This influence is considerably noticeable in her artworks and in her activities as an Israeli artist today. Clari Netzer is an Israeli artist who gives expression to her roots through bold color and contrasting compositions. As with the Aztecs who believed in dualism, she uses contrasting elements which eventually come to balance and harmony.Her artworks show a prominent harmonious composition, symbolisms and figures that add a dimension of mystery to the pictorial narrative.
