I love to explore different genres and techniques with my photography and my artworks, some of which are complimentary, and some that are not, but all of them, collectively, continue to meet my creative needs. Creativity for me is a multi-dimensional aspect of who I am. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t mesmerised by light, colours and textures. As a photographer I often view the world in a series of images, whether that’s a potential great street shot, a beautiful landscape or wonderful blends of colours and textures.

Art is a very concise illustration of the perception of reality, storytelling. For me, this is first and foremost about nourishment from color, as each color holds energy. Now, as it gets colder, it’s time to immerse myself in red. One of my artworks is called "Shy/Naked soul", because it is easier to expose the body than the soul. And art is about courage to be yourself. Art is both healing and a journey of self-discovery, and it’s also about continually, endless skill improvement. This is what the human soul longs for—constant growth. And now, at my 46, I feel that my appreciation for life grows with years, and therefore the feelings of happiness or joy of being.

His brushwork, liberated from the constraints of figurative accuracy, invites a form of visual wandering that encourages the mind to drift between the lines, to find meaning in the abstract. This freedom is reflective of Carmi’s own life, a journey through various vocations and avocations—from a distinguished career as a graphic designer and illustrator in both Israel and the United States, including work for high-profile publications like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, to his impactful roles as an educator and art therapist.

For me, the act of creating art is a form of social justice. I believe in using my work to raise awareness and spark conversations about unity and inclusion. My art invites viewers to confront societal divisions and shift their perspectives.
I hope to inspire dialogue about identity, encouraging people to not only celebrate our differences, but also recognize our shared essence.
