Avraham Vofsi - Artist
A LIVING WORK OF ART
Your Wedding, Painted live.
What is a live wedding painting?
On your wedding day, I set up at your venue with my easel and oils. While you celebrate, I paint, preserving the intimacy and energy of the day in oil and brushwork.
By the end of the evening, your painting is already taking shape on canvas. I then head back to my studio to refine, varnish, and complete it with the same care and technique I use for gallery and museum work.
Based in Tel Aviv, I travel worldwide to paint weddings wherever your love story takes you.
About Avraham
I'm a classically trained oil painter and fine artist based in Tel Aviv. My work has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, and museums across Israel and the United States.
In 2022, I was a finalist for the Archibald Prize, Australia's most prestigious portrait competition.
My gallery practice explores Jewish identity, memory, and resilience through the lens of European classical realism. Live wedding paintings let me capture a different side of Jewish life—the joy and continuity that make our people endure.
I only take on a handful of wedding commissions each year. Each one is painted with the same care and technique as my gallery work: slow, deliberate, built to last generations.

Every Commission is Unique.
Every Commission is Unique.
Each wedding painting is commissioned individually, with scope determined by canvas size, materials, and the time required to complete the work to fine art standards.
During our consultation, we’ll discuss your vision in detail, and I’ll prepare a custom proposal tailored specifically to your celebration.
Every commission includes:
-
A signed certificate of authenticity
-
Professional varnishing and long-term care guidance
-
A pre-wedding consultation to plan composition, setting, and key details
-
Optional additions: Custom framing, fine art prints for family, and bespoke thank-you cards.
Let's talk about your wedding.
I accept a limited number of commissions each year so every painting can be created with care, focus, and unique craftsmanship.
Dates tend to fill quickly during summer and holiday seasons.
