“Stass Shpanin's art is a living world. It is a free-spirit world of color, purity, and joy. A good teacher can give you techniques and skills, but the vision of color, shape, and something more, which transforms a painting into art is a gift. Stass' pictures give you powerful overwhelming feelings: rich emotional, and colorful”

- Gregory Ostrovsky, PhD, professor of Fine Art at the
University of Jerusalem .
