Biography

Domy Reiter-Soffer a modern Renaissance artist, with a great range of interests and professional achievements which, to date, includes dance, drama, music, sculpture and painting. His talent and inspiration in art was recognised at an earlier age. He completed his fine art studies at the Yossi Stern Art Academy - Jerusalem, Israel and Royal Danish School of Art. Further influences and development in art came from Francis Bacon, and John Paddy Carstairs.

The art critics, editors comments and reviews:
Art International - Susan Foote, " D.R.S. `s approach to painting is entirely different and one understands why his artistry and work is in such demand. His works is exceptional because he succeeds in fusing the eye and the mind to do more than merely state a view or a situation it is this fusion that is the complete experience one looks for in art".
Arts Today - Dr. Miriam Orr, " D.R.S. seems to be one of those artists that respects and follows previous traditions, he converse with them and create new modes by conversing both with his contemporaries and with those have to come in the future. His paintings are charged with dramatic manifestation using colour with such expertise to portray the very essence of emotions".
The Chronical - Dora Sowden, " His works are of life and nature full of temperament and Esprit de Corps…,full of emotional statements strange and very theatrical.., colour and technique being so intense and unusual using different mediums and means to depict the very essence of each subject".
Arts Review - Richard Walker, " Many of these oils communicate the artist`s experience of places ( Canada, Israel, London) and of people in their relationships to one another as they seem to him as a sensitive observer".
London Reviews - John Gainsborough, " D.R.S. is showing his flowing watercolours and oils, very theatrical, highly atmospheric paintings but charged with movement and manifestations of an inner angst, a little like Munch".

Domy is a serious painter with fourteen one-man shows namely in Denmark, Canada and United Kingdom. A painter who's works has been regularly selected, for the Summer shows at the Royal Academy of Art, London.
His art is also featured in private and corporate collection in the United States, Canada, Europe and United Kingdom.
