nave_barel_edited.jpg

Nave Barel (Male Westmoreland) came to NY seeking education regarding the limits of art; to stretch and explore the boundaries of creativity; to try and learn how to create the strongest of experiences, injected with truth and beauty. To ask whether we can blur the line between what is considered art and what is considered reality. To provide through divine storytelling a colorful lens, that would allow one to look at the world as he would at a painting.  He aspires to part take in the construction of the ideal, the idea and the story we, as a moral society, hope to follow and could have the faith in its ability to turn one day into a reality. Using art/life at its finest
