Belu-Simion Fainaru

Belu Simion Fainaru, an Israeli sculptor and installation artist, was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1959 and in 1973 moved to Israel.

During the 1980s, his work used motifs taken from Jewish culture, through which he raised questions of identity and historical memory.

In his works, Fainaru created concretization of metaphysical concepts such as "light" or "name", into artistic objects that make use of the text.

[1] Detachment, social issues and characters from the margins of Israeli society, are typical in many of Fainaru works.

In 1993 he was the co-founder of the Pyramid organization in Haifa and in 2010 was one of the initiators and curators of "The Mediterranean Biennale".
