Entranced with the rich pastel colors of the West, reminiscent of the glorious light of Israel, the artist's homeland, Yaelle's oil paintings portray elegant interiors, using the motif of open windows and doorways to disclose the charming views surrounding the Mediterranean.
In the mid 17th century, Dutch genre scenes by Vermeer, Dirk Hals, DeHooch and others - and later in the 19th and 20th centuries, the French painter Bonnard and Vuillard focused on unmediated transcription of daily life and pictorial space. They later moved from traditional visual formula to a modern and contemporary realistic space, capturing landscapes, streets and interiors along with doorway and window framing views. In fact, this was the most fascinating and challenging quality of these painters. Thus, Yaelle's paintings express a similar sensitivity to the varying environments she encounters, using rural views in place of urban scenes, in a direction which she developed between classical approach, and contemporary together with her personal style, reflecting the peaceful serenity which is not lost yet in our world and time.
