Excerpts from the words of the curator, Doron Polak,

at the opening of the exhibition “Parenthood”

“The connection between children and their parents and the role and essence of
parenthood in our lives, at the beginning of this turbulent millennium, are the themes
of this exhibition…”
“…oil paintings that the artist has painted from her impression of photos taken by
herself earlier…”
“The paintings usually deal with episodes from the daily lives of children, where they
play, study, draw, spend time on the beach, and with their friends and families. Isa
Markovich paints in realistic style, on the border of naivete,with a tendency to detail
and emphasizing small nuances that are important to her. Shadowing the human body
on the ground, the color tones of the clothing of the main figures in her
paintings,often the details of their face wrinkles-those are only part of the subjects that
she deals with in order to enhance the experience of sensation that is bestowed to the
spectators of her work. Particular attention should be paid to the body contacts, the
embraces, caresses, and love that the members of the family are giving each other in
her paintings”.
“…her humanistic influences, related to the human way of life, love of the human
being, the need of human aid, support and love, all those are colorfully and
overwhelmingly expressed in this exhibition.”
