 |  | Biography |  | Mirit Ben Nun 
Born August 8, 1966 
These paintings express a personal need to delineate images and fantasies abundant with 
color and emotional explosion. Signs, lines and the materials appear of their own volition 
and develop as an external language bridging the eye, the hand and the painted surface.
During the making of a painting the power of the shapes emanate from an unconscious 
and concealed inner dimension.
Line by line, painting after painting while repeating shapes and patterns, a creation 
evolves into new shapes and patterns. With a determination that reaches obsession, Mirit 
Ben-Nun keeps on returning to her art of meticulous decoration. A strong presence of 
primitive ornamentation provides the artwork with a?tribal facet on one hand and a 
feminine touch on the other, encompassing?embroidery, bead threading and weaving 
among others.?Ben- Nun's beautifying urge carries within it an archetypal strata, mythic 
at times, which empowers her authentic expression.
