Keren Gurion

Keren Gurion

Born in 1973, lives and creates in Be'er Sheva, Israel.
Multidisciplinary artist, self-taught. Specializes in abstract painting.
Graduated with a bachelor's degree in natural and environmental sciences from the Open University, England (2000) and a master's degree with a thesis in marine environmental protection from the University of Wales, United Kingdom (2003). In the past, she served as vice-chairman of the British Association of Modern Mosaic Artists (BAMM).
In recent years she has been mainly engaged in painting. Paints in an abstract expressive style, with acrylic colors and mixed media on canvas, wooden surfaces and paper.
Gurion begins a new painting with a certain advance planning of an emotion or idea, without drawing. The choice of colors and the idea lead the painting, which sometimes leads itself to other places, despite the initial intention. Her paintings are mainly influenced by nature, the landscape of her childhood, on the edge of the Red Sea and the Red Mountains, by the intense colors of nature in England, where she lived for 12 years, and especially by the sea to which she is connected in her soul. Gurion is also looking for the meaning of color and how it affects emotions. The paintings tell her personal story, one piece of thoughts, memories, feelings, experiences and wishes - a mirror of the intricacies of the soul.
Gurion has presented her works to date as part of group exhibitions in England and Israel and in solo exhibitions at the Alley Theater, Kibbutz Magen Gallery and the Artists' House in the Negev.
