the enigma maya bloch

Maya Bloch family dinner gathering is one of the essential themas the artist keep on painting and repainting. For me, among other things, it is like trying to re-live a memory, re- feel a moment, kind of longing, ever longing for something. in this specific painting, there are flowers on the table, an other them often seen at the artists site.
