Beeri is considered one of the leading printmakers in Israel. His favorite printing technique is aquatint. He has a meticulous care for detail while creating and destructing, exploding and merging luminous compositions of geometrical shapes in a personal language of form and color. The artist Ardon had said, "Beeri's world is a world of imagination. But despite his leaning towards science fiction, he draws on the real world which surrounds us: on the geometric, the organic and the inorganic, on the machine, motion, light and on signs and symbols which are fused in nearly all his works. Here and there, as if from the depths of the forgotten past, a mysterious pyramid rises and a mountain range hovers like a ‘fata morgana’ over an oasis."
