Thank you Liron. I have often wondered how you have managed to deal with the unimaginable circumstances going on around you. Not having a choice in how the world behaves and the horrible consequences for friends and family…But you still inspire goodness, kinship, humanity and grace. I feel blessed every time I watch you paint because you shine lightness and beauty that touches our souls.
I have total empathy, Liron. It's OK to not be OK. We all have our diverse journeys to reach our "happy place". Life can be a bitch sometimes. Don't fret about the things you can't change-- work on the things you can. Gorgeous painting
What can I say Liron? This video has been a long time in coming. I’ve been thinking for ages what you must be living through. Thank you for expressing your feelings and telling us about your life. You’re a fine, empathic young man with a lot of qualities including a sense of perspective and rationality . I sincerely wish that this situation you’re living through will come to some sort of end/ compromise/ whatever, very soon. In the meantime know that many people support you and admire your work and the inspiration you’ve given me, and many others.
My heart and prayers are with you and your family Liron. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Thank you also for sharing your talent, skills and art with us ❤
Absolutely mesmerising process. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I wish everyone was a citizen of the world and there was no unnecessary conflict. Praying for you man, know that we all are encouraged and bettered by your work and we wish you the same.
Absolutely amazing monologue! (And also amazing artwork!) I hear some of the struggles you have faced (and must still deal with) and how deeply they affect you. The fact that you have been able to put all this into words (in a very clear, honest, thoughtful, and heartfelt manner) is incredible! That alone is an amazing accomplishment to be very proud of. A truly powerful talk that everyone should hear and reflect on. Thank you so much for sharing!
Dear Liron, THANKS so much for the lessons, in watercolor & life. I was born in Argentina, leave in the USA now. During the 80’ half of my family moved to Israel. One of my cousins lived next to the Gaza border, another in the north, both safe but evacuated. I though that be killed for being a Jew was something that happened to my grandparents, that antisemitism was in decline. Last October I had a rude awakening to the realities of today, to see politicians, students, good intentioned but bad informed people justify the horror of the Hamas attack shattered me to the core. I can assure you there is no Jew in the world who does not have an existential crisis right now. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing your feelings, the burden feels lighter today. Hugs.
Liron, this is such a powerful video, both the beautiful painting and your very poignant commentary. It is helpful for me, an American, who views the terrible events in your region from afar with horror and frustration, to hear the voice of someone living in that situation. We, in the USA, have had our own conflicts that fill us with shame at our actions as a nation and simultaneously with pride at the actions of our individuals. Your comment about seeing the human before the ideology becomes implanted is a perspective I much admire and will try to keep in mind as we are becoming more and more ideologically polarized. Thank you. Shelley B.
Thank you for the your authenticity, courage, and truly tender heart. I'm sorry that you feel that some people hate you. I appreciate you and am sending you kindness from afar. Please know that your expressions as a painter and vlog are a positive in my life and many people's lives.
Sending you and your family, including your lovely dog, love from Canada. I think of you and your people often and wish so much this war was over and the hatred to finally disappear. May God protect and keep you. Use your art to portray what is happening so it can be used in the future to keep the peace.
Liron, thank you for your heartfelt, honest words about your life and how the horrific events of the past year have affected you and so many people. As you describe, your evolution from a small child, who feels like an outsider, to an adult who has all the emotions, but gained insight, is truly a feat that many of us can relate to. Thank you for keeping us connected with your beautiful art work and words.
I have watched your videos on and off for many months.... I had no idea where you were. Turbulent times, may you and our family know peace. Thank you for this videos and your beautiful artwork.
There is no reason to hate on you, because you are not hating : you just express your will for something better for everyone, and the sadness to see difficult times and hard situation, but i think you see nobody as "an ennemy".. you are right not wanting to surrender to hate. I also lerned in life that the best way to feel a bit better about all the hard things in the world is to concentrate on what you can do, what you can change, rather than things that are out of your control ; you take care of the people you love, and try to live your life as an example rather than an ideologist. And i know you are a nice person Liron, an inspiring person and a great example of beeing open, understanting, an not judgemental. So just do you man ^^ : you won't change the politics of countries just by yourself, but you give a lot to the world, and for your personnal standpoint, it's all for the best. I hope the situation in your country will be resolved in peace, and that you'll also find your peace. Where i live there is a saying : "to live happy, live hidden from the world", in other word, the best way to find peace and to give peace to the world is to take care of people around you, not trying to act on the world itself (the world as the societal and political world), and peace will spread...
There seems to be an abundance of pain & sorrow in life. And you have endured it for so long. The terrors around you grieve me. I admire your very balanced perspective. It's quite amazing considering your circumstances. I sincerely hope for peace, happiness, & safety for you & your loved ones (the two legged & the four legged ones). Love to you & yours from the U.S. ❤ Brilliant painting, btw.
I am very sorry about the Situation in the Region and all the tragedy effecting so many human beings. Thank you for sharing your thoughts - all the Best for you and your loved-ones!
a very beautiful demo, black and white as it should while listening to these words straight from your heart. Black and white that is how life is, filled with contrasts, sometimes to an unbearable point. But I know one thing: color always comes back, good prevails on evil and love is stronger than anything. We are with you…
Nothing but love for you and your family, from my family here in the US. So much respect for your talent and your vulnerability. It blessed me so much. Prayers for peace for you all ❤️
Thank you for this video, to let me listen to your thoughts. I think they went well together with your painting. It was a good paus for me, not everything has to be jolly, sometimes it's the darkness we share that gives us the most, that connects us. I wish you and everybody in your area better times. I wish the respect for each others lives will win in the end. I hope so. For the whole world. It's time hate has to step back, it destroys us. I wish for warmer and more kind times.
Liron, you'll always have my support. Thanks for sharing your life's journey with us. I know you are speaking from your heart. October 7th was horrifying. I worried for you and your family. I wondered if you were okay. I can't begin to imagine what every Israeli goes through when bombs go off. I applaud you for opening up to us.
This is my FIRST-EVER comment in any chennel that I follow. Liron, you are such a genuine person who articulated your feelings and thoughts in a very honest and touching manner. You are a beautiful human being. Being a good artist is just a big plus on top of who you are as a person.
Thank you, Liron. I am deeply moved by what you shared. Thank you opening your heart and helping us to understand a bit more of what Israel is suffering through. ברכת ה' עליך
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Liron. I have thought about you a lot over the past year, and have wished you well. I have wondered what you've been going through and I appreciate the vulnerability it took to share your experiences, thoughts and feelings with us. We love you Liron!
I wish more people could listen to your story . People outside the art world. I cannot imagine what your life is like and your fears. Your words help though. You are a very strong person. I had not been able to focus on art for a little while and now I see you have a baby and of course that brings more worries and desires, but also joy. I also saw this very painting was accepted in an International show. You have much talent and are very inspirational.
Thank you for sharing your journey so eloquently Liron. I’ve been praying for you and all of Israel since last October. Your courage and continued creativity has had a tremendous impact on me. I don’t know where to get accurate news from, but the updates I’m getting through Amir Tsarfati are relentless in their reports of more trauma and relentless attacks, my prayers follow all who are affected. Know this about your identity Liron, you are plainly a Child of God, a light to others in an egregiously dark world. May you be greatly strengthened in this healing, life-giving bond as your light continues to shine.
Liron, Thank you for sharing your heart felt feelings. War and aggression never solve any problems. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Please keep inspiring all of us!
Dear Liron, thank YOU to share, so beautifuly and generously, what is stuck at the throat of many. Me, my wife and my little daughter, are sending you our most special, uplifting and kind feelings from Brazil. Down here we are going through various heat waves, forest fires and no rain. The air full of smoke, everybody, children specialy, coughing, getting dried from the inside while sleeping. I feel something similar, how could we call ourselves sapiens? What are we doing? But at the same time, beauty is still there. She won't leave, she is the great resistance, the guide. In a flower, in clear water, in children, in color on the paper and specialy in nature. We wish you all those wonders and enchantments to go on through these enbelivable times. Regards, Santiago. 💚
Thank you so much Santiago! 🙏🏼❤️ I hope for things to get much better for you and your loved ones soon. Brazil is such a beautiful country, I enjoyed my visit back in 2014 ❤️ 🇧🇷
9:52 AM in Texas, 9.10.2024 Thank you for your incredible experiences being shared so perfectly. I am a Christian & love Isreal, but haven't felt to my core, the persecution you're living. God is good, & has blessed you with a talent in art, that is certainly enlighten minds & hearts, all over the world. Bravo❣️ Keep carrying on. That's what we do. Be safe. May God continue to bless you, indeed....
I can't believe I missed this video! I'm so glad you shared. I can't imagine feeling any differently! I'm horrified by those attacking your country and criticizing your people. I am a huge supporter of Israel and the Jewish people - whether or not you embrace the religion. Hatred is evil and so destructive! I pray daily for all -:those killed, taken, and affected. Your painting is wonderful and so are you. Blessings Liron!
Thank you for all you do. Half a year ago one of your video was the most inspiring and supportive in my strong down and sad moment in life. And I'm very thankful for that. Your story is pretty close to mine. First year will be the hardest. In my case all anger and hate now is petrified, I would say. Much less emotions, just clarity what should be done and what doesn't worth waisted time. I live in Kyiv and it was a lot of terrible stuff in suburb in 2022. I won't compare, but still. I believe that there is no need to become as you were in the past. I found a way to leave it, just modify it in a way that doesn't irritate so much. I believe, you will find a way too. And, please, don't judge yourself for negative emotions, this wastes time and energy. Sometimes even it could be hell loop. And you are absolutely right, you have your loved ones, art and this is beautiful. I love what you are doing, thank you very much for everything.
Thank you for sharing such a considered and thoughtful perspective on your personal experience. The last year has been full of such suffering. One love, all people. ❤
Thank you for your humanity and beautiful soul. You truly shine and your painting reflects that. Like your painting, not everything in life is black and white, there are many shades in between. Black is still black though.
Thank you for sharing your humanity with us, we are all richer for it. The beauty you created in this painting is a flag held high against evil and atrocity
Its quite normal that, at certain point in one's lifetime , one has to let the "pressure cooker" within oneself whistle from time to time,just like our "human" system, knowing well that we have our backside on some sort of " fire", we nonetheless, keep on whistling , pretending as if nothing horrible was hapenning to us! Its complicated, but thats how i tend to figure it out after listening to you! Warmest regards my friend! From Mauritius! Stay strong, confident, and above all a good human being!
Thank you for sharing. 🙏 I have been following your utube Chanel for a number of years. I worried about your safety, appreciated one of your early comments about how your desired was not to focus on the political situation exploding literally around you, your reluctance to comment,, your passion was and is art. All this while I could hear fighter jets in the background. Please keep talking…teaching…in every nation, we need to find a way to respect each other as human beings. We have more in common than we do differences.
Hi Liron, I started doing watercolor two weeks ago. Looking for guidance, you have become a familiar voice in my routine. While listening to you in this video, it actually came to my mind that speaking out loud what is boiling inside is what every artist does - no matter if it's a desire to share how we admire light play with shadow or sharing our suffering with words. Your honesty and openness is great, so is your sense of respect. Thank you for everything that you do - you DO make a big difference in the world, at least in mine. I can joyfully share the progress I make in painting with my wife and familly. The fight for good is much quieter than the fight for evil - a missile makes more noise than a smile. But which has more value? Thank you again and I wish you well from Switzerland.
Beautifully rendered painting, Liron! I've been following your channel for years, and although I don't comment as often as I should, you were the first person I thought of on that awful day last year. I appreciate your voiceover on this video so much! I've been praying for you and your beloved country since this terrible attack happened, and I've wondered how you've dealt with everything. I can't imagine how hard it has been for you. Your candor in expressing your feelings with us is refreshing. Religion is a touchy subject, especially if one doesn't believe the same as the other. Religion is a topic that a lot of people get wrong when getting down to brass tacks. Your religion isn't the most important thing; relationship with God definitely is! As a Christian I believe that Israel is very important to the world because Jesus spoke of it so often. I was fortunate to be raised in a very loving two parent home and to be taught that no one is better than me, and no one is worse than me. You have to respect people, even those who differ in opinions. It's hard sometimes, but it's something I've always followed. In my eyes you are a fellow human, created by God, and I will accept you as who you are. Your character will determine whether or not we become friends, but even if your character leaves something, or a lot, to be desired, you are still a person and I will treat you with respect. I will continue to pray for Israel and especially you and your family! God bless you, Liron! 💝
You’re a good man, Liron. You have an artist’s gentle heart. If living in Israel continues to make you sick, come to America for a while. Or somewhere else. A person should protect himself. 💕👍🏽👍🏽
We all have different tolerence levels. Pain, fear, love, hate, patience....our biggest mistake is assuming everyone can give and take as much as the next person.
Your openness and honesty is so powerful 🖤 I find people of the masses sharing so much hatred and taking a stand without actually knowing anything. I first saw this in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, people were making red hearts on Facebook when videos were shared their Russian soldiers were killed! And the last year I also seen people sharing the same hatred to Israel, the same people that ten years ago said “May you never forget the holocaust”… I often try to point this contradiction out to people, don’t judge if you don’t know the whole story! I hope your powerful speech give people a reason to reflect over how they act. ( I hope my ramblings make sense as English is my second language and grammar wasn’t my best 😅)
Awesome...👍👍 Sir ,please make video on watercolor A to Z tutorial playlist Also which is better than beginners who shifting from pencils to brush paint? Watercolor vs poster colour vs brush pens. Which will be better for realistic drawing also? How much sketching skills required for painting? Do we need to outline with pencil 1st? Because I've seen some artist directly draw or paint outline with brush, not with pencil and they trace their pencil outline. It's necessary to trace pencil outline why directly draw outline on watercolor paper? Should I stick with the pencil drawing 1st? Watercolor painting attracts me because realistic look So please make video on my questions 🙏🏻
Oh 😮wow, thank you so much for sharing that huge insight into your life & artistic journey. I’m very empathic & can’t begin to imagine what you & the Israel country/people have been through during this time. I really appreciate & respect your perspective & thoughts on life & in your artistic journey. I pray 🙏🏼 that you have peace in everything you do & that you continue to pursue & find your place, passion, & purpose in life & this world 🌍 🌎 . 🫶🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I've often wondered how you've been doing this last year. I cannot imagine the stress and heartache you have. My prayer group prays for Israel as we believe the Jewish people and Israel are God's chosen people in an everlasting Covenant with him. We pray for peace in the middle East. May God bless you. Seek his face. I love your work and you have been the one YT artist I keep coming back to on a regular basis. Stay strong.
My goodness Liron…that was raw ….it makes sense to me now in your latest work….following you on Insta I noticed a shift in your art and this video filled in the gaps….thank you from Australia (so far west it’s back again) 😂
i find myself judging citizens for the actions of the ruling class, and then i remember that i'm an american and we have absolutely zero right to criticize anyone's use of force. I am sad for the world and it's people who would rather live in harmony, however we are manipulated on a massive scale with our pride and ideologies weaponized. the resentment lasts for thousands of years. thank you for all of the wonderful assistance in my painting practice, i hope that we can all have a net positive effect on the world. I think you certainly have.
and i have found myself wondering what your thoughts were on the conflict, and yet i already knew the answer, but thank you - you did not owe anyone an explanation.
I hope its ok for me to say this , that i can 100% relate to your reality. I am also 90s kid who Grew up in Isreal. My family came from Ukraine to Israel after the perestroika. Everything you said about your childhood experience is almost the same as mine. Though i did not served in the IDF millitary. We went back to Ukraine before my draft age. I feel like its an irony. Because we wanted to escape war in Israel, but war in Ukraine found us😂. I do find your videos and art inspiring, its great to hear more people from isreal talking about life isreal and art for the most part. I dont feel regret that i did not knew people like you who felt about the environment like that. I dont know if i am saying this right. Sort of feeling not belonging to the culture, but still being happy close to family. My prayers for my Israeli brethren. And please prey for my Ukrainian brethren as well. Peace for man kind and universe.
Liron, from Tel Aviv, opens his heart online. He touches the soul of a fellow 90s Isreali kid, in Ukraine. I, in America--where we have our own (so far less violent) differences--get to evesdrop on this beautiful conversation. Isn't the web wonderful? Peace everywhere.
Hi Liron, I watched this the day you posted but I wanted to formulate my thoughts in a meaningful way. I sent you an email and I hope you find it encouraging. No need to respond to it but I do hope you read it. Thank you for such a heartfelt video 🩶
First I must thank you for this commentary because so often when I think of you I wonder how you are doing. My prayers for you and your country are daily. As a US citizen I remember the day the twin towers came down. The fear, the grief, the horror of knowing such hatred existed, made me cry for hours and hours. We are coming up on the anniversary of it and many will show patriotism and say “we will never forget” but I have a new heart for all people. Those who live in oppression and for those who don’t know the truth. Like your story of traveling with the Palestinian woman, you were able to shake hands, be friendly, and speak intelligently with each other. As individuals we can relate to each other with kindness. But when we join into groups we start to protect the group and become more distrusting of others. A single man isn’t as vigilant as a father who wants to protect his wife and kids. I’m also a born again Christian now (for the past 9 years) so my faith is leading me to understand that there’s a spiritual war. We don’t fight against flesh and blood. We fight the evil that wants to destroy what God made. I’m grateful for Jesus who taught me to love and not hate. To be kind, joyful, patient, compassionate, and forgiving. War cannot continue if you lay down your life. Yes they will still try to fight you but if you don’t seek to harm them they will see how the world can be a better place. Unfortunately the wars will continue because of sin and evil. I am currently studying the book of Revelation. There’s a lot of symbolism. But there’s a lot of warnings. I don’t have a fear of death or the things that are coming. Instead I fear that many will turn away from God. Some will say that God is to blame for all the war. I disagree. I think He loves us so much he sent his son to die for us and now we are counted as righteous if we just believe. It’s a gift. He doesn’t say “do x,y,z or suffer eternal hell” instead He says “I love you. I forgive you. You are mine” and just like a grown child can turn away and leave that same child can return. We all have sinned. We all need forgiveness. I pray each person that reads this asks themselves if they are open to seeking truth. It’s as easy as asking God to prove He’s real. I know He will reveal Himself. Then true peace can come into your heart.
What you told is nothing new to me, having been in Israel even in wartime. Feeling closer to your feeling. Even being not Jewish, after Oct. 7th 2023, I lost almost completely faith in people. Art and God are the only things I can trust upon and never betrayed me, as people (friends, relatives, institutions) did. Keep going on and get strong. Todah rabah.
But as Liron said, there are good people everywhere, and what your own government does to others that they don't see as human (or equals) in some cultures, sometimes comes back to bite us, and then there is suffering for the oppressors, as well as the oppressed. So much hatred and suffering comes from thinking that there is no God (or G-d), and that killing and hurting is okay, as long as our 'tribes' gain something (whether it be land, status, control, etc.). In the end, we are ALL human beings, with hearts and families. We all want to be safe, but are indoctrinated by our collective cultures' teachings. The key is to remember that we are all God's people. No one is better. No one is worse. We are all the same. Thank you, Liron. I could hear the pain in your voice, and I've wondered how you've been doing. I have followed your channel for awhile, and can tell that you are such a good person. I'm sorry for your suffering (and the suffering of all who live in the Middle East). Praying for peace and love to prevail.

I also saw this very painting was accepted in an International show. You have much talent and are very inspirational.
Thank you for sharing your journey so eloquently Liron. I’ve been praying for you and all of Israel since last October. Your courage and continued creativity has had a tremendous impact on me.
I don’t know where to get accurate news from, but the updates I’m getting through Amir Tsarfati are relentless in their reports of more trauma and relentless attacks, my prayers follow all who are affected.
Know this about your identity Liron, you are plainly a Child of God, a light to others in an egregiously dark world. May you be greatly strengthened in this healing, life-giving bond as your light continues to shine.
Your beautiful words match the beauty of your painting, Liron. Heartfelt thanks.
Liron, Thank you for sharing your heart felt feelings. War and aggression never solve any problems. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Please keep inspiring all of us!
Dear Liron, thank YOU to share, so beautifuly and generously, what is stuck at the throat of many.
Me, my wife and my little daughter, are sending you our most special, uplifting and kind feelings from Brazil.
Down here we are going through various heat waves, forest fires and no rain.
The air full of smoke, everybody, children specialy, coughing, getting dried from the inside while sleeping.
I feel something similar, how could we call ourselves sapiens? What are we doing?
But at the same time, beauty is still there. She won't leave, she is the great resistance, the guide.
In a flower, in clear water, in children, in color on the paper and specialy in nature.
We wish you all those wonders and enchantments to go on through these enbelivable times.
Regards, Santiago.
💚
Thank you so much Santiago! 🙏🏼❤️
I hope for things to get much better for you and your loved ones soon.
Brazil is such a beautiful country, I enjoyed my visit back in 2014 ❤️ 🇧🇷

Thank you for your incredible experiences being shared so perfectly. I am a Christian & love Isreal, but haven't felt to my core, the persecution you're living. God is good, & has blessed you with a talent in art, that is certainly enlighten minds & hearts, all over the world. Bravo❣️ Keep carrying on. That's what we do. Be safe. May God continue to bless you, indeed....
Beautiful painting and beautiful heartfelt words. Thanks for sharing Liron
I can't believe I missed this video! I'm so glad you shared. I can't imagine feeling any differently! I'm horrified by those attacking your country and criticizing your people. I am a huge supporter of Israel and the Jewish people - whether or not you embrace the religion. Hatred is evil and so destructive! I pray daily for all -:those killed, taken, and affected. Your painting is wonderful and so are you. Blessings Liron!
Thank you for all you do. Half a year ago one of your video was the most inspiring and supportive in my strong down and sad moment in life. And I'm very thankful for that. Your story is pretty close to mine. First year will be the hardest. In my case all anger and hate now is petrified, I would say. Much less emotions, just clarity what should be done and what doesn't worth waisted time. I live in Kyiv and it was a lot of terrible stuff in suburb in 2022. I won't compare, but still. I believe that there is no need to become as you were in the past. I found a way to leave it, just modify it in a way that doesn't irritate so much. I believe, you will find a way too. And, please, don't judge yourself for negative emotions, this wastes time and energy. Sometimes even it could be hell loop. And you are absolutely right, you have your loved ones, art and this is beautiful. I love what you are doing, thank you very much for everything.
Thank you so much for sharing with me, and for the kind words 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for sharing such a considered and thoughtful perspective on your personal experience. The last year has been full of such suffering. One love, all people. ❤
Thank you for your humanity and beautiful soul. You truly shine and your painting reflects that. Like your painting, not everything in life is black and white, there are many shades in between. Black is still black though.
Hi Liron. This is one true gorgeous painting you made! May the Art always give you hope, joy and a purpose.
Thank you for sharing your humanity with us, we are all richer for it. The beauty you created in this painting is a flag held high against evil and atrocity
thank you for sharing, I so understand you, I'm Israeli and my close relative is Nova survivor.
🙏🏼❤️
I appreciate your thoughts; it is a very impressive video, both the painting and the talk. Thank you.
Its quite normal that, at certain point in one's lifetime , one has to let the "pressure cooker" within oneself whistle from time to time,just like our "human" system, knowing well that we have our backside on some sort of " fire", we nonetheless, keep on whistling , pretending as if nothing horrible was hapenning to us!
Its complicated, but thats how i tend to figure it out after listening to you! Warmest regards my friend! From Mauritius! Stay strong, confident, and above all a good human being!
Thank you for sharing. 🙏 I have been following your utube Chanel for a number of years. I worried about your safety, appreciated one of your early comments about how your desired was not to focus on the political situation exploding literally around you, your reluctance to comment,, your passion was and is art. All this while I could hear fighter jets in the background.
Please keep talking…teaching…in every nation, we need to find a way to respect each other as human beings. We have more in common than we do differences.
Thank you, Liron. Your words have touched my heart. 💕
Hi Liron,
I started doing watercolor two weeks ago. Looking for guidance, you have become a familiar voice in my routine.
While listening to you in this video, it actually came to my mind that speaking out loud what is boiling inside is what every artist does - no matter if it's a desire to share how we admire light play with shadow or sharing our suffering with words.
Your honesty and openness is great, so is your sense of respect.
Thank you for everything that you do - you DO make a big difference in the world, at least in mine. I can joyfully share the progress I make in painting with my wife and familly.
The fight for good is much quieter than the fight for evil - a missile makes more noise than a smile. But which has more value?
Thank you again and I wish you well from Switzerland.
Beautifully rendered painting, Liron! I've been following your channel for years, and although I don't comment as often as I should, you were the first person I thought of on that awful day last year. I appreciate your voiceover on this video so much! I've been praying for you and your beloved country since this terrible attack happened, and I've wondered how you've dealt with everything. I can't imagine how hard it has been for you. Your candor in expressing your feelings with us is refreshing. Religion is a touchy subject, especially if one doesn't believe the same as the other. Religion is a topic that a lot of people get wrong when getting down to brass tacks. Your religion isn't the most important thing; relationship with God definitely is! As a Christian I believe that Israel is very important to the world because Jesus spoke of it so often. I was fortunate to be raised in a very loving two parent home and to be taught that no one is better than me, and no one is worse than me. You have to respect people, even those who differ in opinions. It's hard sometimes, but it's something I've always followed. In my eyes you are a fellow human, created by God, and I will accept you as who you are. Your character will determine whether or not we become friends, but even if your character leaves something, or a lot, to be desired, you are still a person and I will treat you with respect.
I will continue to pray for Israel and especially you and your family! God bless you, Liron! 💝
Peace ✌🏽
You’re a good man, Liron. You have an artist’s gentle heart. If living in Israel continues to make you sick, come to America for a while. Or somewhere else. A person should protect himself. 💕👍🏽👍🏽
I was inspired by you who simplyfied art and drawed same like you
We all have different tolerence levels. Pain, fear, love, hate, patience....our biggest mistake is assuming everyone can give and take as much as the next person.
Beautiful painting. I have been thinking about how you were so thanks for sharing. My thoughts are with you.
A very terrific painting on top of everything!
I love this!!!!! I keep missing your lives! I’m struggling with sunsets and how to make them not look cheesy! So hard!!!!! More skies please!🙏
Your openness and honesty is so powerful 🖤
I find people of the masses sharing so much hatred and taking a stand without actually knowing anything. I first saw this in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, people were making red hearts on Facebook when videos were shared their Russian soldiers were killed! And the last year I also seen people sharing the same hatred to Israel, the same people that ten years ago said “May you never forget the holocaust”…
I often try to point this contradiction out to people, don’t judge if you don’t know the whole story! I hope your powerful speech give people a reason to reflect over how they act.
( I hope my ramblings make sense as English is my second language and grammar wasn’t my best 😅)
God you are a brilliant painter. I'm sorry you have to live through this.
Awesome...👍👍
Sir ,please make video on watercolor A to Z tutorial playlist
Also which is better than beginners who shifting from pencils to brush paint? Watercolor vs poster colour vs brush pens. Which will be better for realistic drawing also?
How much sketching skills required for painting? Do we need to outline with pencil 1st?
Because I've seen some artist directly draw or paint outline with brush, not with pencil and they trace their pencil outline. It's necessary to trace pencil outline why directly draw outline on watercolor paper? Should I stick with the pencil drawing 1st? Watercolor painting attracts me because realistic look
So please make video on my questions 🙏🏻
Thanks very much for sharing. It helps me better understand. I did enjoy your painting process while listening to you talk. My thoughts are with you.
thank you for sharing your heART, Liron! sending love! ❤
I'm rooting for you Liron!
❤
Oh 😮wow, thank you so much for sharing that huge insight into your life & artistic journey. I’m very empathic & can’t begin to imagine what you & the Israel country/people have been through during this time. I really appreciate & respect your perspective & thoughts on life & in your artistic journey. I pray 🙏🏼 that you have peace in everything you do & that you continue to pursue & find your place, passion, & purpose in life & this world 🌍 🌎 . 🫶🏻
This is great and the play on light is fabulous! ❤😊
Thank you so much for this video. I've often wondered how you've been doing this last year. I cannot imagine the stress and heartache you have. My prayer group prays for Israel as we believe the Jewish people and Israel are God's chosen people in an everlasting Covenant with him. We pray for peace in the middle East. May God bless you. Seek his face. I love your work and you have been the one YT artist I keep coming back to on a regular basis. Stay strong.
God bless you and Israel
Lovely painting to
My goodness Liron…that was raw ….it makes sense to me now in your latest work….following you on Insta I noticed a shift in your art and this video filled in the gaps….thank you from Australia (so far west it’s back again) 😂
i find myself judging citizens for the actions of the ruling class, and then i remember that i'm an american and we have absolutely zero right to criticize anyone's use of force. I am sad for the world and it's people who would rather live in harmony, however we are manipulated on a massive scale with our pride and ideologies weaponized. the resentment lasts for thousands of years. thank you for all of the wonderful assistance in my painting practice, i hope that we can all have a net positive effect on the world. I think you certainly have.
and i have found myself wondering what your thoughts were on the conflict, and yet i already knew the answer, but thank you - you did not owe anyone an explanation.
I hope its ok for me to say this , that i can 100% relate to your reality. I am also 90s kid who Grew up in Isreal. My family came from Ukraine to Israel after the perestroika. Everything you said about your childhood experience is almost the same as mine. Though i did not served in the IDF millitary. We went back to Ukraine before my draft age. I feel like its an irony. Because we wanted to escape war in Israel, but war in Ukraine found us😂. I do find your videos and art inspiring, its great to hear more people from isreal talking about life isreal and art for the most part. I dont feel regret that i did not knew people like you who felt about the environment like that. I dont know if i am saying this right. Sort of feeling not belonging to the culture, but still being happy close to family. My prayers for my Israeli brethren. And please prey for my Ukrainian brethren as well. Peace for man kind and universe.
Liron, from Tel Aviv, opens his heart online. He touches the soul of a fellow 90s Isreali kid, in Ukraine. I, in America--where we have our own (so far less violent) differences--get to evesdrop on this beautiful conversation. Isn't the web wonderful? Peace everywhere.
@@pwyt4rk peace every where friend
Hi Liron, I watched this the day you posted but I wanted to formulate my thoughts in a meaningful way. I sent you an email and I hope you find it encouraging. No need to respond to it but I do hope you read it. Thank you for such a heartfelt video 🩶
First I must thank you for this commentary because so often when I think of you I wonder how you are doing. My prayers for you and your country are daily. As a US citizen I remember the day the twin towers came down. The fear, the grief, the horror of knowing such hatred existed, made me cry for hours and hours. We are coming up on the anniversary of it and many will show patriotism and say “we will never forget” but I have a new heart for all people. Those who live in oppression and for those who don’t know the truth. Like your story of traveling with the Palestinian woman, you were able to shake hands, be friendly, and speak intelligently with each other. As individuals we can relate to each other with kindness. But when we join into groups we start to protect the group and become more distrusting of others. A single man isn’t as vigilant as a father who wants to protect his wife and kids. I’m also a born again Christian now (for the past 9 years) so my faith is leading me to understand that there’s a spiritual war. We don’t fight against flesh and blood. We fight the evil that wants to destroy what God made. I’m grateful for Jesus who taught me to love and not hate. To be kind, joyful, patient, compassionate, and forgiving. War cannot continue if you lay down your life. Yes they will still try to fight you but if you don’t seek to harm them they will see how the world can be a better place. Unfortunately the wars will continue because of sin and evil. I am currently studying the book of Revelation. There’s a lot of symbolism. But there’s a lot of warnings. I don’t have a fear of death or the things that are coming. Instead I fear that many will turn away from God. Some will say that God is to blame for all the war. I disagree. I think He loves us so much he sent his son to die for us and now we are counted as righteous if we just believe. It’s a gift. He doesn’t say “do x,y,z or suffer eternal hell” instead He says “I love you. I forgive you. You are mine” and just like a grown child can turn away and leave that same child can return. We all have sinned. We all need forgiveness. I pray each person that reads this asks themselves if they are open to seeking truth. It’s as easy as asking God to prove He’s real. I know He will reveal Himself. Then true peace can come into your heart.
I love you brother
This is so enjoyable to watch ❤ What are the silver brushes you’re using? Thanks 🙏
I have Raphael travel brushes that look excatly like this.
What you told is nothing new to me, having been in Israel even in wartime. Feeling closer to your feeling. Even being not Jewish, after Oct. 7th 2023, I lost almost completely faith in people. Art and God are the only things I can trust upon and never betrayed me, as people (friends, relatives, institutions) did. Keep going on and get strong. Todah rabah.
How to send you what I drew?
Thank you 🙏🏼 You can send via Instagram at LironYanIL
Its 1000000 times worse for 🇵🇸 in a g3noc1d3
But as Liron said, there are good people everywhere, and what your own government does to others that they don't see as human (or equals) in some cultures, sometimes comes back to bite us, and then there is suffering for the oppressors, as well as the oppressed. So much hatred and suffering comes from thinking that there is no God (or G-d), and that killing and hurting is okay, as long as our 'tribes' gain something (whether it be land, status, control, etc.). In the end, we are ALL human beings, with hearts and families. We all want to be safe, but are indoctrinated by our collective cultures' teachings. The key is to remember that we are all God's people. No one is better. No one is worse. We are all the same.
Thank you, Liron. I could hear the pain in your voice, and I've wondered how you've been doing. I have followed your channel for awhile, and can tell that you are such a good person. I'm sorry for your suffering (and the suffering of all who live in the Middle East). Praying for peace and love to prevail.
🫂
