| Mr. Sharon Toval was born in Israel in 1967, and grew up in Toulouse,
South of France, till the age of 18. His first interest in art, was in
drawing lessons he had at the age of five. Already at this age, Sharon
was very sensible to esthetic and physical look of his environment.
In 1993, Sharon Toval graduated from the Israeli Institute of Technology
as an Engineer, and started to work as a management consultant for
important corporations in Israel and France. It's right before his
MBA studies in Paris , in 1999, that he really started to paint, after
a dream he had.
In the dream, Sharon was painting very colored and happy fields and
landscapes. " I didn't want to wake up from this dream. I think
it's probably my unconscious called my conscious to paint", that's
Sharon's interpretation of his
revelation.
Since then, Sharon Toval is painting in divers media. His inspirations
come from his soul, his heart. " For me, painting is a way to express
out my energies, if I don't do it, they become negative inside of me,
and I feel bad !".
Sharon Toval painting is characterized by mixing very strong colors
into a positive and optimistic harmony, it's the way of the artist to
give "the good" to this world. Picasso, Klee, Miro, Hunderwasser
and other great artists are his inspirations.
"A real artist, is the one who's capable of looking at other artists
paintings and translate them into his own language" Sharon Toval. |
