Calman Shemi
Calman Shemi was born in Argentina in 1939. He studied sculpture and ceramics at the School of Mendoza in Argentina. In 1961, Shemi emigrated to Israel, and in 1963 he began studying sculpture with Rudi Lehman.
He created his first "soft" paintings in 1977. Since 1978, he has worked primarily in serigraphy and acrylic paintings.
In 1999, Shemi developed the "windows" and the "lacquer" painting techniques.
The "window" or "shadow box" painting is a unique form of artistic expression. First Shemi creates a painting in a wooden box.

After completion of the painting, he affixes a customized wooden frame to the box. This unusual technique results in the illusion of looking through a window to the landscape or into a room. The frame is then covered with silver or gold leaf and finally lacquered.
The final result is a piece of art that emphasizes the contrast between the outside level and the painting within a deeper level.
