Concept of Kayma

Our name derives from the Aramaic/Hebrew Bar Kayma, which means literally "bearing life, existence, survival". In our times, this concept has become central to sustainable development of planet Earth, for present and future generations.

We ask the question: What about sustainability in contemporary art? Can it become an active force in the creative process? If one agrees that sustainable art becomes more relevant with time, then what could it mean for us, in a local context and from a global perspective?  

The Gallery

KAYMA GALLERY emphasizes the relations between visual arts, literature and the city. Our team's taste is eclectic and open to manifold media, encouraging comitment to skill, vision, freedom of style and technique. We welcome formally educated and self-taught artists alike, whose work convey a personal statement regarding both the history of art and the complexity, sensitivity and fragility of human condition. 

The Studio

KAYMA STUDIO specializes in experimenting recycling techniques, making imaginative use of limited available resources. The Studio artists create artworks from bits and pieces gathered around the closeby Flea Market and the city, natural fragments and industrial waste. Those artworks are part of our exhibition program.
