Press Release
The works of Israeli-American artist Roni Pinto explore philosophical and religious themes through the use of meditative abstractions. The titles of each work are the point of departure for her audience as Pinto contemplates notions of life, love, spirituality and eternity. She works mainly in mixed media and oils, varying between lush strokes of color and refined symbolic configurations. In “Pure” and “Unconditional Love,” Pinto uses glow in the dark wire combined with oil on rice paper and canvas, respectively, combining forms with freedom and expressive intention. In exploring Pinto’s work, the intentions behind the abstractions become clear; meaning is imbued through color and illusory forms. “With my paintings I attempt to draw connections between the individual and the wider universe. Each person contains not just the individual, but the combination of all that is around us.” Pinto holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Ben-Gurion University in Israel, where she focused her studies on drawing, photography, ceramics, and design. She is presently teaching Jewish Education in a day school, combining many of her lessons with art activities.
Pinto lives and works in New York.
