About the Gallery
Manole Art Gallery is a fine art gallery, located in the beautiful artists' village Ein Hod, on the Carmel mountain in Israel.
Founded in 1953 by the Dada artist Marcel Janco and a group of artists, Ein Hod is the only artists’ village in Israel, and one of few of it’s kind in the whole world.
Nestled in the heart of the Hof Carmel region, among olive groves and fruit orchards, the village glides down mount Carmel green hills to the seashore. This pictorial setting is enhanced by the special and intensive cultural and diversified artistic scenario.
150 artists and their families inhabit Ein Hod. They live, work and create in the village in every cultural medium and field of endeavor. Through the years, the special atmosphere in the village has influenced the second and third generations into choosing to live here and become artists in their own rights.
From the first days to the present, the richness and diversified talent of members of the artists’ village has been the unlimited source of excitement and creativity for the community, and many of the events, as well as the celebration of holidays, is initiated and carried out by local talent. Through the years Ein Hod has become famous for it’s cultural and inspiring activities and is visited by tourists and artists alike seeking to enjoy and share the muse.

Irena says:
"For me as an artist working in a realistic manner, the image of a person is associated with the specificity of his sex, age, time and place of action of the character's picture. These conventions prevented my striving to depict the psychological states of a person with symbolic signs and objects working at a subconscious level. The contradiction between the desire for realism - on the one hand, and the transmission of the generalized psychological traits that characterize a person throughout the history of his development - on the other hand, led me to a search for a character that allows me to bypass restrictions connected with realism without breaking at the same time with him. Ancient Egyptian images of a half-man, half-animal, prompted me to look for the image I needed among animals. In my search for animals in the world culture, I discovered that the hare is a character that appears in many fairy tales and myths of the peoples of the world, from America to the Far East and from Africa to Europe. Myths connect a hare with the moon, sky, and sun, its image can be found on antique ceramics, coins, hieroglyphs, as well as in national histories. Especially I was attracted by the fact that in these tales and myths the hare combines the femininity and masculinity and reflects all the advantages and disadvantages of human nature.
I use images of animals to tell about people,
furthermore, certainly about relations between a man and a woman.
After all, we are all a bit animals...
Pyramids, that I create, have a philosophical and spiritual concept that reflects a balance of opposing forces in human life.
Each element of a pyramid is a symbol and has an implicit meaning.
For example:
- The bird symbolizes spirituality.
- The key is the answer to the questions.
The human desire for harmonious development is emphasized in the paintings. All elements of a pyramid are interconnected.
However, each viewer can find their own correlation of these elements."
