XELA — the prolific New York designer, graphicist and artist — started by apprenticing to the contemporary French/Israeli impressionist Yitzhak Parnell, in addition to a working art education in Florence, London and New York. A strong graphic discipline permeates all his works.

XELA's "new medium art" is unusual both in its content and execution. Designed and drawn in almost sketch form, it is translated and transformed with the aid of computer technology. Shapes and outlines are formed from multi-colored vinyl material and adhered to conventional canvas covered frames, or on plastic mounting board.

The vinyls' vibrant, "happy" colors of an almost unmixed primary color palette are what attracted XELA to this mode and choice of material. It reflects the artist's approach to his subject matter and his constant search for innovative ways that will enable a fresh, clean, crisp and timely expression of his art.

XELA states that for the present series of paintings to attain their full potential, the ultimate objective is to produce these paintings in large scale.

The artist became a well-known multi-dimensional exhibit/museum designer, specializing in theme exhibits and museums. He has designed more than 50 museums and a long list of special theme exhibitions in the U.S. and overseas, thus far.

Throughout his design career, past and present, XELA keeps painting and incorporating and displaying his art and graphics in many of his works. Lately, he has devoted a larger portion of his time to producing art and will keep doing so in the foreseeable future.

His art is recognized by his irreverence, his subtle sense of humor, his love and respect for graphic values and his unabashed confident use of colors. Some of his works retell stories of current and historical events, and of general observations, and present their conclusions.

XELA is constantly looking for new methods and materials to tell his story through his art.

He works out of his workroom in Roslyn, New York, and his studio in Pennsylvania, yet most of his art is produced from on-site research and impressions garnered during his heavy domestic and international travel schedule.
