Biography
She brought the acrylic into her world of lines and dots; she went back to painting women and masks that appeared in her childhood paintings and flooded them with lines and dots without separating body and background.
This is also the moment when Ben-Nun began to refer to herself as a painter.
and when art became the center of her life.
The intense colors in Ben-Nun's paintings sweep the viewer into a sensual experience. The viewer traces the surge of dots and lines formed in packed layers of paint. The movement leads to a kind of female-male hormonal dance within the human body and to a communion with an artistic experience of instinct, passion, conceiving and birth.
Contributing to this experience is the wealth of characteristics reminiscent of tribal art. Ben-Nun merges these with a humorous and kicking contemporary Western Pop art. In the language of unique art, Ben-Nun creates an unconventional conversation between past and present cultures.
It is evident that the paintings emerge from a regenerated need and desire, a force that erupts from her soul, a subconscious survival instinct to which she cannot or does not want to resist.
Ben-Nun places women at the center stage where they are her work focus. The paintings obsessively deal with the existential experience of being a woman in the world. A few of the women's paintings carry feminist slogans stressing the women's struggle in society, a critique for being held to perfection and being required to perform as a model of "beauty, purity and motherhood". Feminism pulsates in Ben-Nun's psyche, through her diverse female images and the play between beauty and unsightliness; Ben-Nun assimilates the consciousness of feminine possibility, of not being "perfect", of being powerful, influential, and outside social norms. This mandates a departure from acceptable limitations where Ben-Nun creates a new world of free spirit for women.
Mirit Ben-Nun is a mother of three and the grandmother of three grandchildren.

Women telling carrer. First book in Israel Mirit Ben-Nun A few months ago the high tech woman Dr. Efrat Liani turned to me with a project that is all truth. Super clean, without disguise, just the way I love it, the truth of women and career.
She asked me to tell it with a brush, which is what I do best. I picked up color, inspiration and with her and 110 other fascinating women in the Israeli society we went on our way.
Together we created the first collaborative women book in Israel.

Cette acrylique sur toile est très belle et dénote au vu de sa grandeur un vrai travail de grande patience pour la finaliser . Toutes ces lignes et ses courbes qui s'entrecroisent et se rejoignent nous font penser à des chemins de Vie rehaussés par la couleur d'un ciel bleu lumineux qui donne à l'ensemble de votre toile un résultat visuel final admirable , Félicitations pour cette belle réalisation !
This acrylic on canvas is very beautiful and, given its size, indicates a real work of great patience to finalize it. All these lines and its curves which intersect and come together make us think of the paths of Life enhanced by the color of a luminous blue sky which gives your entire canvas an admirable final visual result, Congratulations on this beautiful realization !
