Reuma Angel (born Haglili), was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Her love to the arts, to painting, pottery and sculpture has already started at young age. She has learned several fields of arts, including History of Arts studies at the Tel-Aviv University. Since her childhood, she was exposed to beautiful fine porcelain and items that were exposed and used plentifully at her home, particularly china brought by the family from Buchakrah, Iran, Afghanistan and Russia.
In 1982, she moved in 1983 to Rockville, Maryland, near Washington D.C., were she was exposed anew to pottery and ceramics. Her biggest exposure and the beginning of her long ”romance” with Painting on Porcelain has started following the move of the family to France, where she lived for 12 years. Reuma has studied several years under the direction of the well known artist Nin Arnaud, at Rungis, near Paris. In Israel, she subsequently continued her voyage of discovery with several potters and ceramics.
She employs the French method for painting on fine porcelain, imported from Limoges (France), Bavaria (Germany) or Royal Copenhagen (Denmark), utilizing XVIIIth century methods for the preparation of pigments, paint and firing at very high temperatures.
Each and everyone of her works is a unique piece of Art, fully hand painted and without copies, utilizing several pigments and minerals, including gold and silver powders.
