'Creating is a necessity, like eating or sleeping' | Yael Dresdner

"We sit down with Israeli artist Yael Dresdner, whose work explores the space between abstraction and figuration, gesture and stillness, memory and material. Through a deeply intuitive painting practice, Yael builds layered surfaces that hold the residue of emotion, personal narrative, and time.

Working primarily with oil and mixed media, her canvases often evoke liminal spaces — both architectural and psychological. Whether depicting interiors, boats, human figures, or ephemeral shapes, her paintings invite us into moments of uncertainty, vulnerability, and quiet beauty.

In our conversation, Yael reflects on her process: how she balances control and chaos, why copying is important for finding your personal mark-making, and how her life experiences continue to shape her evolving visual language.

Dive into a practice that is both tender and raw, physical and poetic — one that resists easy interpretation and rewards close, slow looking." from the video introduction
