Mina Haas

I chose the classical figurative style as a means to express the subjects that concern me and I am particularly fond of, related to classical music, femininity, aesthetics, motherhood, and beauty.
In my works, I aim to translate my feelings from the abstract world of music into the tangible world of sculpture. My sculptures convey the flow of soft feminine lines, as well as the soft lines of musical instruments, to reflect the music within them.

Born in Israel, Kiryat Ono, where I received my initial musical education. For years, I received scholarships for music studies from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. I played in the Youth Orchestra, and after the Six-Day War, we were on a grand tour in the USA and South America, conducted by Danny Kaye. With his help, we brought many contributions to Israel.

After my military service, I completed my studies at the Academy of Music at Tel Aviv University. Even during my studies there, I was awarded scholarships for instrumental studies in Israel. I continued my music education in New York with yearly scholarships. I hold a Master's degree from the "Manhattan School of Music" in New York.

Upon completing my studies in the USA, I joined the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, where I played for four decades filled with great joy and undoubtedly challenging musical endeavors. In the orchestra, I played the oboe and English horn solo. Countless concerts in Israel and numerous concert tours across Europe and the United States.

After retiring from the orchestra, I sought to continue engaging in the arts and fell in love with sculpture. I primarily sculpt in clay and cast in bronze and polymers. Over the years, I have actively participated in numerous group exhibitions in Israel
