在纽约工作与生活的以色列艺术家伊格尔•奥泽里最为人所知的是他创作大尺幅描绘富有神韵的且具有特色的年轻女性电影肖像为主。在拉斐尔前派美学的引导下，奥泽里给他的绘画带来了一种空灵和无拘无束的感觉。他的肖像画代表了浪漫主义的艺术史基础，同时也提供了感性女性的当代概念。
基于荣格的“灵气”概念，奥泽里对与自然的连通性的描述引发了对潜意识中的女性身份的质疑，并恢复了天真真实体验的美丽。他的“写实主义照片”式的具象绘画传达了他的主题精神，使其让位于一种诱人的力量。因此，观者不得不凝视现实与幻想之间。
伊格尔·奥泽里自1988年以来，就一直活跃在国际艺术市场中。在纽约、洛杉矶、慕尼黑、伦敦、巴塞尔、维也纳、以色列、巴黎、墨西哥、萨尔茨堡、马德里、秘鲁和香港等地举办个展。他的作品被在美国纽约惠特尼美国艺术博物馆，特拉维夫艺术博物馆，维也纳的阿尔贝蒂娜博物馆，海法现代艺术博物馆，哈德逊山谷当代艺术中心，弗雷德里克·r·韦斯曼基金会，肯尼迪艺术中心(华盛顿特区)和纽约公共图书馆等艺术机构和私人永久收藏。

New York City based Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri is best known for his large-scale cinematic portraits of distinctive young women in rich prodigious landscapes. With tinges of Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, Ozeri brings an ethereal and uninhibited sensibility to his paintings. His portraits denote art historical foundations in romanticism, while also offering contemporary notions of sensual femininity.
Rooted in Carl Jung's concept of anima, Ozeri's depictions of a revitalized connectivity to nature prompt a confrontation of subconscious effeminate identity, and reinstate the beauty of innocent authentic experience. His photorealistic oil paintings convey the spirit of his subjects, giving way to a seductive power. As a result, the viewer is compelled to gaze into the allegorical domain between reality and fantasy.
Ozeri has shown extensively around the world including solo exhibits in Spain, China, The Netherlands, France, Germany, and Mexico. His work is featured on the cover, and included in the book Photorealism and the Digital Age. He is currently in a traveling Museum show titled 50 Years of Hyperrealistic Painting that was showcased in a number of venues including: Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, and Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao. He is also in the permanent collections of: The Whitney Museum of American Art, The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, The Jewish Museum in New York, The New York Public Library, The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Albertina in Vienna, among others. He is represented by Louis K. Meisel Gallery in New York City.
