The Benefit of the Out

Since 1995 Ofir enjoys experiencing life as an artist and particularly being a self-taught, outsider artist.
Having no official art education results in a complete artistic freedom; no rules or boundaries, no commitment to a specific style or to any trend in the mainstream art scene.
Ofir is addicted to the entire creation process. He creates purely for his own pleasure and to maintain his mental health, and he considers observers that are moved by his art a flattering bonus to the process.
Ofir's adventurous lifestyle and high level of consciousness generate endless sources of inspiration. He has never experienced an artistic block and never views any of his works as bad, boring, or disappointing.
Once in a while, Ofir adopts a new name and signature that reflect his evolving artistic personality, a new period or inspiration, a different location, state of mind, or powerful experiences he's going through.
Born in Israel in 1972, Ofir traveled the world extensively, and in 2002 moved to Las-Terrenas, Dominican Republic, with his girlfriend and muse, Limor Nessa Shelemay. Together they run “Fundacion Marlee-Jo” a charitable organization for local kids and “HCML” an Alternative Investment firm. Ofir recently published “Investilosophy”, an unconventional investment book; a blend of fiction, the real investment world, and the wild beauty of Kauai.
