Jakobovits says:

"The source of my inspiration comes from Nature, people and the history of art. These are aspects of the transcendental force, which permeates the universe. I am a “plein-aire” painter;  my portraits are created from life as well. When my work is successful I have joined with the rhythm of that which is before me."
