LIRON SISSMAN:

    Liron Sissman's oil paintings have been featured in more than 50 shows in NYC and throughout the country, have won multiple awards, and have been written about extensively. Liron's paintings are widely collected by institutional collectors and by individuals in the US and abroad. Liron's work was recently the subject of a 40 minute TV interview. Liron Sissman is a full-time painter listed in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Art, and Who's Who of American Women.

    Every painting is a self portrait. " I do not paint flowers. Having no faces of their own, flowers in my work represent an image which viewers of diverse backgrounds would be able to relate to. Unencumbered by personal features, they serve as portraits of human nature."

    Liron's landscapes are dominated by a body of water seen through a screen of  trees. Using water as a symbol of one's aspirations, these trees may either constitute a barrier or they may define a path. However, while connoting a hurdle they provide a glimpse. Liron's landscapes, like her flowers, are not merely intended to reflect nature but rather to project an inner reflection, a metaphorical journey.

    "I admire the intensity of emotions found in the works of the Expressionists. Like them,  I too mix my soul with my paints.  However, I strive to be subtle in my expression of the intense."
