ABOUT ME
A letter from the artist.
"My name is Maytar Shapira and I am an Israeli artist from Brooklyn, New York. Ever since I was 12 years of age, art has been my way of understanding and explaining the world. I grew up with a deep love for creativity through my Israeli community, and now, I dedicate my career to pursuing the dreams of that 12-year-old jewish girl from Brooklyn inside me.
Every piece I create, every story I tell, is a direct expression of that inner passion and curiosity that ignites me. That 12 year old in me is the one behind the brush. I believe in the power of peace—through art, through shared experiences, and through trust. My goal is to invite you into my world, where together, we can explore what inspires us and makes us feel most alive. Let's build a safe community for zionists to feel safe in their identities.
Whether you're here to appreciate my judaic inspired art or simply looking for someone who sees the world a little differently, I hope you feel a sense of familiarity and trust in our journey. Let's come together and create something beautiful. Am Israel Chai."
