Meet The Maker
Albi Serfaty
Albi Serfaty was born in Jerusalem, Israel, into a highly creative family. From an early age, he was drawn to the hypnotic nature of light. After receiving his first camera and a darkroom at age 13, Albi became a self-taught photographer.
He began his creative career as a photographer’s assistant at Bow Street Studio in London. Soon after, he entered the advertising industry as a professional still life photographer in London and Tel Aviv.
Light That Matters
"For 30 years the studio has taken inspiration from the sea’s underwater life, shapes and forms. Now, with coral reefs bleaching and salinity levels increasing in freshwater lakes, it is time to give back."

Albi co-founded Aqua Creations, in 1992, where he is currently the studio’s lead designer, ultimately driven by a desire to create lights that evoke emotion and views each design as an extension of himself as an artist. He is strongly influenced by his immediate surroundings, ever-evolving and in pursuit of new materials and technology.
Environmental Concious Design
“The design process of Light On Water was about more than creating light; it is an opportunity to start a wider conversation about the imbalance in freshwater lakes around the world.”

With his latest works Albi shines alight on cultural, environmental and social issues. Each lighting piece speaks to his vision for optimism, allowing for a distinct expression of identity of an organic nature that he maintains throughout each work.
