Nefesh Art
The Full Story
Mission
We are dedicated to supporting emerging Jewish and Israeli artists, helping them share their unique visions and talent with a broader audience. By showcasing and selling artworks that celebrate the historical and spiritual connection to the land of Israel, we offer American Jews a meaningful way to engage with their heritage. Through each piece that we create and sell, we aim to uphold and honor Jewish religious traditions and cultural values, fostering a deeper appreciation for the artistry and spirituality rooted in our shared heritage.
Vision
At Nefesh Art, we envision a vibrant and inclusive art community that celebrates the rich cultural heritage and innovative spirit of Israeli and Jewish artists. Our commitment is to amplify their voices, showcase their talents, and foster a deeper understanding of their stories through art.
​
We aspire to create a platform where diverse artistic expressions thrive, bridging gaps between cultures and communities. By connecting American and Israeli Jewish people, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration, enriching both communities through shared experiences and creativity.
​
In supporting these artists, we believe we can inspire understanding and appreciation for the profound narratives that shape our identities. Together, we can cultivate an art landscape that celebrates the unique contributions of Jewish culture to the global scene, making art a powerful tool for connection and unity.
Our Story
Mikhail’s journey began in Israel, where he was surrounded by a vibrant tapestry of artists and painters, each telling their own unique stories through their work. This deep connection to the arts flourished when he moved to New York City to study at Parsons School of Design. Immersed in the city’s rich cultural landscape, Mikhail became actively involved in various Jewish communities, including Meor, Heritage Retreats, Hillel, and Chabad.
​
The events of October 7 were a turning point for Mikhail. In the face of adversity, he felt a powerful calling to support his homeland and amplify the voices of Jewish artists. Inspired by a vision of unity and resilience, he launched a project dedicated to spreading Jewish art across the globe, creating a bridge that connects people through creativity and culture.
​
Our project is not just about art; it's about fostering community, preserving heritage, and celebrating the beauty of Jewish culture. Together, we are building a global movement that transcends borders, uniting people through the power of art and shared experience.
​
Join us as we continue to celebrate and elevate Jewish artistry, creating connections that inspire and uplift communities around the world.
