Frida Steinberger, born in Israel, is a multidisciplinary artist, creating and sculpting in earthware and porcelain, also working with photography and other forms of visual arts.

Frida has been active in creating and sculpting since she finished her studies at the "Bezalel" Academy of Art - Jerusalem, Israel. Over the years Frida has visited India and Japan, and studied the secrets of the local artists with hands on experience. Frida lived and created with the local artists authentic ceramic sculptures. Frida documented this unique experience in her photography.

Among Frida's exhibitions in Delhi, she presented 'Traces of Touch' with Siraj Saxena and Jean Mayer in 03/2005. This exhibition was held in the academy of fine Art & Literature in Delhi and was combined with poem recitals of Yehuda Amichai read by Ashok Vajpeyi.

Upon returning to Israel, she shared the unique experience with local Israeli artists and guests from abroad. Frida's home in Karmei Yosef faces a magical view of the ancient Tel Gezer, the city bestowed upon King Solomon as dowry by a Pharaoh, whose daughter became one of the King's thousand wives. The ancient Gezer and the modern Karmei Yosef are located on the ancient route "Via Maris" which led from the Mediterranean Sea to Jerusalem.

The outcome is a unique result of ancient Canaanite traditions mingled with Indian traditions going back dozens of generations and contemporary Israeli concepts.

Frida uses this combination to form a bridge of creativity between Israeli and Indian artists. In this context, a special place is reserved for an Indian artist by the name of Jamna Lal Prajeptat from the village Mulalah in Rajasthan.

For sixteen generations, Jamna's family has been creating earthware characters, taken from Indian mythology and many gods and goddesses. Jamna arrived in Israel at Frida's invitation, to the "Lagaat Ba Homer" center ("touch the earthware"), where he spent two months creating authentic art work with her, in a joint "four hands" initiative.

In this journey to India, Frida is continuing the universal route connecting different cultures and different persons to a single experience.

In this exhibition Frida presents 'Manta Ray -The Gaza withdrawal'.

During the months of the Gaza withdrawal process, there was a nonverbal daily encounter between the upper class Israeli's coming to eat in a famous restaurant, and the low class Arab and Israeli families coming to play at the same time and the same place on Manta Ray beach in Tel Aviv.

While on the beach families built sand palaces and played with kites side by side, inside the country, they protested and covered the land with orange strips. the orange color became a symbol of protest to the withdrawal from Gaza. The present work is a social observation and projects in photography and sculptures achievable coexistence.

In manta-ray people successfully shared a small part of the beach on the Mediterranean Sea.
