Summary

- Her father, a programmer, was murdered in a terror attack in 2002.
- Approximately half of the displayed works were created after October 7.
Tamar Aluf is showcasing her deeply personal oil painting exhibition, "Painting Longing," at the Jerusalem Theatre's Sherover Foyer until February 4. The exhibition channels her experiences of loss and renewal into art that resonates with memory and emotion.
Aluf's artistic journey was profoundly impacted by the 2002 murder of her father, Boaz Aluf, in a terror attack. She resumed painting shortly after his passing and continues to find solace and expression through her work.
Approximately half of the pieces featured in "Painting Longing" were created following the events of October 7, reflecting a powerful engagement with contemporary experiences of loss and resilience. The exhibit explores themes of memory, longing, and the rebuilding of life after trauma.
