David Najar describes nature as a subject that is simultaneously in perfect harmony, full of beauty, and near God. His artwork seeks to capture this indescribable balance with a serene combination of movement and color, mixing imagination with reality. Najar’s paintings are sold worldwide and have been featured in exhibitions throughout Israel, Canada, and the United States.

NAJAR: PERSONAL HISTORY  Born in 1962, Najar grew up in Israel. His teachers recognized Najar’s artistic skills, but his family was less supportive of Najar’s talent.“In my family there was no such thing as an artist or painter. The closest thing to a painting we had at home was a tapestry,” Najar says.

Najar attended Bar-Ilan University from 1987 to 1990, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Social Sciences. With his artistic pursuits stymied, sports took over Najar’s life. This eventually led him to an exercise facility that also served as a school for Krav Maga, the hand-to-hand combat system used by Israeli defense and security forces. Najar took an interest in the martial art, and soon after met Imi Lichtenfeld, the creator of Krav Maga. The two became fast friends despite an age difference of 50 years, and Najar endured intense training to become a coach and leading figure in Krav Maga.
