"Most of my pictures were painted in the 70's, when I had the opportunity of visiting the Sinai Desert innumerous times. I was deeply influenced by the movement of light, as it fell over the dunes, rocks, villages and some isolated houses, changing their colors gradually. It reminded me of the views of Morocco, where houses are painted white, with blue and turquoise windows, creating and impressive contrast with the reddish soil background. As the bright, glaring light was changing throughout the day, it reshaped the shadows and emphasized the contrasted colors of Nature&.

Soil, Land, Territory. In a country where these words are a source of recurring conflicts, landscapes usually become dreamed places, sanctuaries actually. Painted on the borders of Israel, Serfaty's aquarelles depict the richness of colors under a Mediterranean sun. Indeed, a painful, silent testimony echoes in the red, blazing rocks of Edom Mountains or in the scattered houses in Village on the rocks.

Borders are human inventions that artificially split the Natures flow. Standing on one side of the border, I could feel the magic, healing intangibility of Nature on the other side. Landscapes became accessible to my eyes and imagination in their entirety. When I painted the villages of Lebanon and the West Bank, I could encompass both sides and reconcile between them&.
