Born in Haifa in 1957, Dubi Roman's art is deeply rooted in his family's spiritual history and geographical location. Roman's family has lived in the holy city of Safed for five generations. It is where his grandfather before him, Yitzchak Roman was a famous artist and Sculptor. Although Dubi lives in the heart of Tel Aviv - Israel's major city, he constantly looks to nature for sustenance and searches for amongst the landscape of Israel's, trees, fields and flowers. Inspired by Impressionist painting, Roman developed his own unique photographic processes and techniques, an impressionistic way of expressing his own vision of nature through photography. All his images were created in the field, using nothing but a Nikon film camera. No filters were used and no lab or computer manipulation was utilized.

| About the Artist |
"Nature photography is kind of a prayer�expectation and wish for whatever this beautiful country should have been and still can be.��.amidst the uncertainty, the wars, and the non ending violence and self absorbed truths also stand the innocence and beauty of the forests, the earth, the streams and the flowers. But they stand embarrassed, lost and blushing from shame waiting for their prayer to be fulfilled..." Dubi Roman at the opening of the "In stills and colors" - 100 years of the Jewish National Fund exhibition at the Jerusalem theater, October 2001. |
