David
Bar-Chai is a Muralist now living in New Orleans. After several exciting years living, exhibiting and teaching in
Mexico and Israel, he finally decided it was time to return "Home."
He has exhibited in Greece, Israel, and Mexico, as
well as his native United States. Since his return he has found new love and he now finds his deepest inspirations come from Lenora his fiance.
David
Bar-Chai believes that Art must always contain an inner dimension – the
subjects must be felt as well as seen. And seen over time, allowing the
essence to slowly reveal itself, ripening like sweet fruit.
