The sea and painting are Amit Friedman 's two great loves,   10 years old from Tel Aviv. He set off on his first research cruise when he was only ten months old, when he was carried by his mother, one of the founders of the Delphis Association.
 Nature in general, and the sea in particular, are like air to him - an escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy street, from the challenges of everyday life. Amit began drawing and creating from the first moment he learned to hold a pencil. The constant shouts of admiration he received from those around him encouraged him to continue creating and developing his talent. Only recently was Amit's painting chosen to represent Israel in the annual Toyota painting competition, and even made it to the finals of the competition.

 From the age of five, Amit demonstrated amazing abilities in drawing and engineering - and was very interested in assembly, sculpture and creative activities, and later decided that when he grew up he wanted to be an architect. At the top of the list of artists from whom Amit draws inspiration is Leonardo da Vinci. Like Da Vinci, Amit also devotes a lot of time to researching the subject of his work - and in a laborious process of trial and error, he encompasses the subject from all angles and using all possible materials at his disposal.

 This painting, from 2023, was inspired by the Titanic , which captivated him from the first moment. Amit read about the fascinating story of "the ship that cannot sink" and created the ship from every possible material - Lego, metal, paper, wood, plaster and more.
 He drew this drawing during one of his breaks at school, on a piece of cardboard.

 Amit decided to present the work as part of the " Artists for Marine Mammals" project, with the aim of ensuring the continued activity of the Delphis Association for the preservation and protection of marine mammals in Israel, and for the education of the next generation to love the sea.
