Yair Emanuel is a prolific artist, creator of some of Israel’s most recognized and loved Judaica. His creative use of colors, textures, and images from the land of Israel makes his beautiful works of art instantly recognizable.

Emanuel, born on Kibbutz Sha’alvim, in central Israel, developed his artistic talent as a young man at the prestigious Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. It was during his time studying in Jerusalem that he fell in love with the Holy City and decided to make it his home. His studio is located in the heart of Jerusalem and the city influences many of his beautiful works of art, which are decorated with scenes from the Old City of Jerusalem. His other works celebrate the seven species of the land of Israel with charming depictions of wheat, barley, rye, pomegranates, grapes, olives, and figs.

Emanuel’s designs are infused with his love for Judaism, a respect for tradition blended with his joyful embrace of color and innovation. His Judaica is represented in various mediums from painted wood, to textiles, to metal. Each piece that he makes is unique, while recognizably ‘Emanuel’.
