About The Artist

Varda Breger’s works and poems deal with the conquering of nature by man, and the painful relations in human society. The lack of balance between progress and nature, resulting from man’s failure to conserve and distribute the resources on the planet amongst its inhabitants, is manifested in the disappearing variety of life especially the extinction of wildlife. Breger uses mixed media technique on paper in her paintings. Streams of dilute paint are caging blurred trampled animals, women, and birds. Varda Breger was born in Israel, lives and works in Tel Aviv.
