Tigist Yoseph Ron - September 2024

Tigist Yoseph Ron writes: “I was born 1977 in Gondar, Ethiopia. I immigrated to Israel in 1984 and now lives and works in Ra’anana, Israel. I am a graduate of the Visual Communications Department at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design In Jerusalem. The main themes in my work are femininity, motherhood, and community. The starting point for the works generally is a person I am close to, but as the process progresses, the specific identity of the person is slightly obscured in order to emphasize the movement and rhythm that are created. Sometimes the way the light falls on a figure or strong emotions leadsme to place more emphasis on the relations between the shapes and forms in the drawing.”
