"AS AN ARTIST DIAGNOSED ON THE AUTISTIC SPECTRUM, ART IS MY PRIMARY WAY TO EXPRESS MYSELF AND THE WAY I EXPERIENCE LIFE."
OMER UDVIN
A WINDOW
TO HIS WORLD.
mer Udvin, born in 1999, is a young Israeli artist diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. For him, painting is a meaningful window to the world, allowing him to express himself in ways he is ordinarily unable to.
Art is the twist in Omer’s endless journey of coping with autism. As a young boy, Omer objected even to holding a pen in his hand. Suddenly at the age of 8, he began to secretly draw just for himself to see. Only when he felt more confident with himself did he start sharing his artwork with his immediate family.

Omer works with various techniques, mainly acrylic paints on canvas, watercolors, and mixed media using fabrics. “My work process always faces me with one of the things that have always been extremely difficult for me: making choices.
For me, making choices is accompanied by great difficulty and anxiety,
but when I paint, making choices becomes easier,” Omer says. “After I paint the first layer of the painting, I paint all the details in my signature ‘dots and stripes’ technique. Most of my works are composed of dots (influenced by ‘Pointillism’) and stripes, which requires a lot of precision and patience, but also makes
me feel safe, calm, and in control.”
