Opening of the Exhibition - Homage to Fernando Pessoa
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
I am delighted to be here today to open Jacob Porats exhibition, Homage to Fernando Pessoa.
Jacob Porats work, speaking for itself, is the expression of a true artistic vocation.
In his words, his painting is inevitably inseminated by the two other arts in which he engages: Music and Literature.
Jacob Porat studied music and violin and holds first degree in Hebrew Literature and Bible Studies and second degree in Comparative Literature, both from Tel-Aviv University. He studied Art, Painting and art printing in Avni institute in Tel Aviv. Today, Jacob Porat is a member of Israels Painters and Sculptors Association.
The world of Fernando Pessoa, is the world of the infinite multiplications between the infinite self and alter egos. What I may say about this exhibition today is that an image is worth a thousand words.
I would like to thank the Embassy of Portugal in Israel, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and of course Zehava Kalman and Michal Sadan for hosting this exhibition.
Ladies and Gentleman, I now give you the artist, Jacob Porat.
I take great pleasure in declaring this exhibition open.
Thank you iansteu
