Acclaimed Artist, Hovave Rappaport, was born in Israel. There, he studied the arts with a focus on sculpture. After leaving his home in his early twenties, Hovave travelled around Europe and North America looking for new beginnings, establishing roots in Los Angeles, California in 1980.
Hovave’s work developed into a study of combining lighting and natural stones, bringing life and animation to the still world around us. In the 90s, his work further evolved with the introduction of crystals and wearable SacredArt made from materials such as quartz, amethyst, citrine, and other gemstones.
His inspiration comes directly from his heart, following his intuition and reflective of his deep connection to spirituality. Hovave’s greatest satisfaction comes from the creation of his art; recognizing it is a gift of the universe to be shared with others.
With no two pieces being the same or repeated, Hovave's creations are truly one of a kind.
