Varda Breger

Varda Breger’s works deal with the conquering of nature by man, and the painful relations in human society.

The lack of balance between progress and nature, resulting from man’s failure to conserve and distribute the resources on the planet amongst its inhabitants, is manifested in the disappearing variety of life especially the extinction of wildlife.

Lately many of her works are dedicated to the inferior and hopeless state of women in western and eastern society and the poor state of Africa...

Asphalt & Aquarelle, the conqueror and the trampled, are embodied in the technique of the paintings. Vibrating opposing tensions between the transparent flowing aquarelle language, against the opaque and intensity that only acrylic color can supply.

Born and lives in Tel-Aviv, Israel. She holds a B.Sc degree in Science-Chemistry from the Haifa Technion, and a MSc. Degree from the Tel-Aviv University. After years of working in research and teaching, while always painting, she took classes in the Arts Faculty of the Tel-Aviv University, studied in the Netherlands and at the Ramat-Hasharon Art College.
