Ofra Wolf

Painter, Kibbutz Urim, Israel

See her work on her website.

“[Ofra] Mainly practices oil painting on canvas from a small to a very large scale. Her works move on the axis between figurative and abstract. Her creation is guided by narratives or images with an autobiographical and cultural-local context. There is an emphasis on life in the Negev, which includes pastoral landscapes on the one hand, and on the other, great political and social tension. Her work is guided by the picturesque narrative while the language of the art changes according to the subject. Each narrative stands on its own and also relates to previous narratives, with each story creating an artistic series that stands on its own.”
