My Story
Since I can remember, I’ve been mesmerized by light, color, and symmetry—the way light transforms everything it touches into something magical.
As a child, I spent several years in Kenya with my family, where I would sit for hours staring at gemstone rings, hypnotized by the dancing light within them. At seven, I began painting mandalas and symmetrical designs on glass, selling my creations to friends of my family—my very first handmade business. Later, photography captured my fascination with light and its endless transformations.
At 20, while studying architecture, I created my first kaleidoscope as part of a mirror-based project—and instantly fell in love. I immersed myself in kaleidoscope artistry, traveling to conferences in the United States to learn new techniques, and returned to Israel with a clear calling: creating kaleidoscopes is my greatest passion.
Since 1994, I’ve devoted my life entirely to crafting kaleidoscopes, presenting them in galleries across Israel, and sharing them with collectors around the world. In 2020, I moved to Kibbutz Ein Gedi, an oasis on the shores of the Dead Sea, where living close to nature inspires my work every day.
To me, a kaleidoscope is more than something to look at—it’s something to feel. It awakens the imagination, brings calm, and even serves as a tool for meditation. With a gentle turn, light enters, and an entire universe awakens. Colors blossom into sacred geometry, patterns bloom and dissolve like living mandalas—every moment is unique, never to be repeated.
Handcrafted with love, each kaleidoscope is a one-of-a-kind work of art, designed to bring peace, inspiration, and joy into your everyday life. In a world that moves too fast, a kaleidoscope invites you to pause, breathe, and witness beauty that exists only for you in that fleeting moment.
Yours, Roy :)
The Studio
Located in Kibbutz Ein Gedi, an oasis on the edge of the Dead Sea, my studio is where magic happens. Surrounded by the stark beauty of the desert and the shimmering waters below, I find endless inspiration in nature’s colors, textures, and light.
The studio is my kingdom of imagination where ideas take flight and materials come alive. Here, I experiment, explore, and play: testing new techniques, mixing colors, and uncovering the infinite ways light can dance through glass, brass, resin, and silicone. Every day brings new discoveries, surprises, and some moments of wonder.
In recent years, my fascination with fluorescent colors and UV lighting has opened up entirely new possibilities. I’ve developed unique kaleidoscope elements, shapes, textures, and colors that have never been seen before, creating pieces that are as mesmerizing as they are personal. Each kaleidoscope is a universe of its own, waiting to be explored.
A glimpse into my work
To craft some of my kaleidoscope components, I work with a cherished, 65-year-old lathe. a faithful companion that has become an extension of my hands. Watching raw materials transform under its guidance is like witnessing a quiet, magical dance. Each turn and cut brings me closer to creating shapes and details that are unique, intricate, and full of life.
