Abel Pann wrote:

The task I have set myself involves a serious responsibility. The enthusiasm which my work arouses in me is often clouded by painful doubts and questionings. For that same Book which has inspired many a genius to produce his masterpiece has proved to be beyond the reach of a far greater number of artists.

A son of the race which produced this marvelous Book. I feel that I, better than some others, may be able to seize its true spirit, and to communicate it to my fellow-men.

But the absolute truth is with G-d alone. Mankind is ever the subject to error. And so I entreat the indulgence of my judges.

VICTOR SHREM

Victor Shrem, the descendant of a Spanish family who fled Spain during the Inquisition, and established themselves first in Italy, and then in Hebron, Israel, was born in Jerusalem in 1944.

He grew up and went to school in Jerusalem, and after graduating high school, worked in a Kibbutz in the Jordan Valley.

After serving in the Navy in the Israel Defense Force, he went to Germany for artistic training, and graduated from the Academy of Ceramics. He worked in this field for several years, and participated in several group exhibitions in Berlin, Paris and Israel.

In 1984 he opened his own studio and gallery “Cardo Gallery 1984” in the Old City of Jerusalem, where he exhibits fine art works by well-known Israeli artists. At the same time, he continued with his own artistic career, but turned to a different medium: painting. He learned the techniques of watercolor, oil and mixed media, in which he excels.

His favorite subjects are inspired from Israeli folklore, Jerusalem and its surroundings, Israeli landscapes and Judaica.

Victor Shrem’s paintings appear in numerous private collections all over the world.
