Yossi Bitton is an Israeli painter born and raised in Safed, the spiritual and artistic heart of the Galilee. Surrounded by the city’s famed artist colony from a young age, Bitton absorbed its creative spirit and developed a rich, expressive style that blends tradition with personal vision.
His paintings explore Jewish themes, landscapes of Jerusalem, the Western Wall, holidays, and Hasidic life — all portrayed with mystical emotion and deep spiritual resonance. Bitton’s work moves fluidly between figurative and abstract forms, evoking both history and transcendence.
For Yossi, Jewish art is a matter of the soul: “Only a Jewish soul can truly feel what it means to express the divine through art,” he says. His canvases don’t just depict — they invite the viewer into a sacred, emotional experience.
