Victor Majzner is one of Australia 's most prominent painters. The recipient of some thirteen art prizes, his work is represented in the National and most State, Regional, University and major corporate collections in Australia as well as in private collections over the world. Since 1971 he held over 50 solo exhibitions in Australia and New Zealand and has participated in numerous major group exhibitions in Australia , Italy , USA , England and New Zealand . Macmillan in 2002 published a book on his art, entitled Earth to Sky - The Art of Victor Majzner. The book pictures each of the ten silk screen prints of Images of Tanya .

His recent decision to retire from the teaching position of Head of Painting in the Victoria College of the Arts to devote himself wholly to painting, comes at an important phase of his artistic development in religious terms. In previous years, Victor Majzner had dealt with a number of Jewish themes in his art: the dybbuk, various images from the Torah, the Wandering Jew and so forth. The most significant Jewish themes in his work were his publication and illustration of The Australian Haggadah with his son, Andrew Majzner in 1993 and then in 1999 a major exhibition, entitled "Negev", the result of an extensive painting trip through the Negev region in Israel and the Sinai, undertaken in 1997.

But in the last few years, the religious element in Victor Majzner's took a qualitative or at least a major quantitative leap. He engaged in the study of a major work of Jewish mysticism, included in the work Tanya, entitled the "Gate of Unity and Belief", studied Hebrew scriptures and himself drew closer to the world of Jewish prayer and observance. In an article on his work by Michael Krape, Majzner says, "Within Judaism, I have found a context in my life and through an exploration of the mystical aspects of the religion I think I've developed considerably as an artist".
