Two figures are entangled together in a complicated knot. The colored laces represent the energy bodies of two human entities, who are deeply involved with each other.

About the Artist

Orna Ben-Shoshan’s artwork gives the viewer a rare and insightful visit to places beyond consciousness. Her paintings release the imagination and extend the limits of ordinary perception. In her colorful scenes, which take place in a distant world, creatures and objects interact in unpredictable ways, uninfluenced by the laws of physics.

Artist Orna Ben-Shoshan conceives the images she paints through channeling. All of her paintings are completed in her mind before she transfers them onto the canvas.
Her work infuses deep spiritual experience with subtle humor. Critics remark that each one of her images is a world onto itself. Like other surrealist artists, Orna creates links that are only possible in a different dimension of existence, taking the conventional and weaving it with unique and inimitable stitch. Her images are executed with intractable detail and seasoned by a multitude of colors and decorative Patterns.
