The Magnificent Art of Orna Ben-Shoshan
Collections (1)
As an artist, I have been struggling for recognition for many years. I did not have the advantage of those who graduated a respectable art school, no famous teachers to brag about, no access to the commercial art world, and no connections or personal association with gallery and museum curators.
Being a self-taught artist, I decided to do everything by myself. As you can see, “struggling warrior” is my second name…
It took me several years of experimentation and self-search in order to develop my own distinct style of painting.
I paint what I see, and visions are streaming into my mind when I summon them. After creating a large body of artwork, I realized that what I paint is not something that I invented by myself, but visions that are being channeled to me from some external source. I did not understand most of the “bizarre” scenes that I was painting, but knew that these images have a message to convey, and it is my duty to carry them out visually.
