Karen Naim Arts

My name is Karen Naim, I was born in Israel in 1972.

I graduated the Midrasha school of art in 2003.

What generates me to creative acts is the need for expressing and bridging my inner and outer world through the arts.

In personal moods, I take photos which are already flirting with painting and drawing media. Then I choose to paint them on paper or canvas. The image is mostly  unidentified, it's fading into disappearance, has minor details, general and distanced.

In my present works, contradictory to my previous I choose a limited color scale. This demands me of concentration, conscious choices and self control. Surprisingly with an upside-down logic, it brought me, and my works, to the sense of expression and freedom. It  also demands me to be present and change myself all through the process: to give up my ego and identity, to become as a shadow with no personal involvement but very personal and involved all together.
