Based in Tel Aviv, Yoav Brener (b. 1986) explores the relationship between nature and abstraction, working primarily in large-scale painting. His practice weaves together emotional depth, intuitive gesture, and a sensitivity to the unseen forces that shape human experience.
Inspired by artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Francis, and others, Brener has developed a visual language rooted in abstraction, color exploration, and layered surfaces that evoke personal and collective memory.
​
His work also represents the process of observing the world and oneself by emotionally looking inward.
​
​
Brener’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States, Europe, Asia, and beyond. His paintings are held in prominent private and institutional collections in Israel, the United States, France, Thailand, and additional countries worldwide. Notable collectors include Aby Rosen, alongside other significant international patrons.
