Statement
Israeli painter and mixed media artist Roni Pinto is interested in
the big questions. Her work is meditative; abstract, figures and
shapes drift and float in a ghostly, otherworldly space.
Pinto uses music as a doorway into her art and it is this
movement into - and then through - that one sees in her work.
She incorporates different Kabbalistic names of God, lending
more to the impression that she is working towards something
spiritual and ancient. Of course Pinto’s work is thoroughly
contemporary; she uses unexpected materials in her mixed
media pieces, glow in the dark wire, for example, that makes
the work kinetic as well as graceful.
