| Liron Sissman About Liron: Liron's oil paintings have been featured in more than 40 shows, won multiple awards, have been written about extensively, and are widely collected by corporate collectors and by individuals in the US and abroad. Liron's work was recently the subject of a 40 minute TV interview. Liron is a full-time painter listed in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Art, and Who's Who of American Women. "A painting is a self portrait. I use flowers as visual metaphors depicting life's many cycles. The fragility of flowers, coupled with their ephemeral beauty, intriguing delicacy, and striking color, attract sensitivity and amplify the drama. The fleeting existence of flowers triggers urgency. Having no faces of their own, flowers in my work represent an image which viewers of diverse backgrounds would be able to relate with. Overcoming superficial dissimilarities, they serve as portraits of universal appeal. My landscape paintings are dominated by a body of water seen through a screen of trees. Using water as a symbol of life and serenity, these trees may either represent a barrier or they may yield to define a path. Most often they partially obscure, connoting a hurdle as they provide a glimpse. My landscapes like my flowers are not merely intended to reflect nature but rather to project an inner reflection, a metaphorical journey. My larger works are stretched over wide bars and painted around the edges. I may continue the image on more than one surface, creating a three dimensional work that can be viewed from multiple angles; in essence saying that the painting is larger than the canvas can contain. I admire the intensity of emotions found in the works of the Expressionists. Like them, I too mix my soul with my paints. However, I strive to be subtle in my expression of the intense."
