Moshe Elazar Castel is an Israeli painter, born in Jerusalem. Castel was a founding member of the ?New Horizons” group, combining elements of abstract European art with Eastern motifs and ?Canaanite art.”
He was inspired by basalt blocks when visiting the ruins of an ancient synagogue in Korazin, in the Galilee. He began to use this ground basalt, mixed with sand and glue, then infused with rich colors.
Most works are embellished with archaic forms derived from ancient script, symbolism and mythological signs from the Hebrew and Sumerian culture
His murals hang in the Knesset, Binyanei HaUma Convention Center, Rockefeller Center in New York, and the official residence of the President of Israel in Jerusalem
