Yitzchok’s unique method is a study in patience and focus. The drawings are created using graphite on a white paper –offering a sharper contrast than traditional oil portraits. The graphite also allows for ultra-fine details and subtle shading, giving the portrait a silver glow. Each masterpiece is a labor of love that requires much perseverance and personal investment.  This method requires constant refinement; the artist typically invests 50 to 100 hours into every portrait. The subjects Hebrew name is skillfully hidden in every portrait. Only after obtaining a grasp of what the subject stood for, does the artist selects a pose that can portray their inner essence.

Yitzchok believes that true art has the capacity to convey profound emotion, especially when drawing a Gadol with whom we share a personal connection. The inner realm of the Tzaddik comes to life and permeates the page, enabling viewers to connect with our leaders in an inspirational way.
