The flowers and plants that I chose to paint spoke to me on a personal level, symbolizing the months of lockdown, and a celebration of the beauty that only nature can produce.

Aloma Treister, My Neighbours' Gardens (Exhibition Installation), 2022.

The past two years saw me, like most Melbournians, confined to my home. Several kilometres of concrete sidewalks were traversed on my daily walks.  It was here, passing by the neighbourhood gardens that I found solace in the colours and shapes of flowers that I observed.  The flowers and plants that I chose to paint spoke to me on a personal level, symbolizing the months of lockdown, and a celebration of the beauty that only nature can produce.

Aloma Treister was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1944.

Subsequently she lived in Iran, Israel and London. She studied Graphic Design at London’s Sir John School of Art and worked at the Israeli Television studio in Israel. In 1973 she moved to
Melbourne, Australia. In 1981 she completed a B.A. in Fine art, painting at RMIT, and a Masters of Fine Art at Monash University in 2000.

Aloma Treister is an award winning artist. Having exhibited widely in Australia and abroad, her works are also held in esteemed collections in Australia, America, UK and Israel.
