After completing her studies, she returned to Israel to continue her art education at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She became a recognized artist and a member of the Society of Artists and Sculptors in Israel. At the age of 25, she got married and has two sons. Yolanda found the essence of her life in art and made it her primary occupation.
Throughout the years, Yolanda has worked with various art mediums, including oil, acrylic, textiles, hand-painted fashion, and sculpture in clay, bronze, and aluminum. The female figure and female empowerment are recurring themes in all her artwork. Through her art, she expresses her feelings and thoughts and presents messages of female power, beauty, brotherhood, and love for nature.
Yolanda Antal has exhibited her art in galleries, museums, and international exhibitions worldwide, including Israel, USA, Canada, England, Germany, Austria, and Italy. In the last two years, she participated in important exhibitions in Italy, in Napoli and Procida, which attracted crowds of visitors in memory of the Italian film actor and director, Massimo Troisi, winner of the Oscar for his film “The Postman”. She also exhibited her works twice at the important international exhibition in Rome “Arte in Nuvola” and at the Grand Art Milan exhibition. Yolanda Antal’s works are purchased by collectors, galleries, hotels, and for public places as well as by private art lovers.
Yolanda Antal’s art brings positive thoughts, light, and color into our minds and homes. Her inspirations come from the world of art, traveling the world, reading, and love and curiosity about astrophysics. Her travels take her mainly to nature reserves in the tropical Far East, exotic jungles, and places with the sea. She loves sailing on a boat in the Mediterranean, and it inspires her to imagine events of the past from Greek and Roman mythology, such as the “Iliad and Odyssey”. Reading about astrophysics expands her mind and knowledge and makes her understand how much we need to cherish and preserve the rare divine gift of life. Yolanda Antal feels blessed, happy, and grateful for our existence every day.
