A Window Into Another Dimension

About Orna Ben-Shoshan’s Visionary artwork

By Michal Zilberman

Gazing at the artwork of Orna Benshoshan

feels like stepping into another world - a
world of endless possibilities, of distant
horizons and landscapes full of light and
mystical figures that play, dance, meditate
and experience life on a higher sphere of
being.

Having an Orna Benshoshan painting on

your wall is like having a window to
another dimension. This is a natural result
of Orna’s process, which involves opening
her consciousness and channeling images
that come to her from a different realm of
existence.

Though she never completed formal Art

studies, Orna has a distinct style of her own,
marked by her bold use of color and her
unique sense of form, light and space.
While the themes of her paintings are spiritual or mystical, they are also full of humor, like a
twinkling, winking eye.

As she states about her artwork:

“As an auto-deduct artist, my work It a medium of transferring knowledge about things that are beyond
linear time and thinking.

My source of inspiration are memories from alternate states of existence; I am blessed with the ability to
see things that come from another realm, in which, to my belief, I existed before.

My Major motivation as a visual artist is to translate the retrieved information into a visual form, so that
it can be shared with others and perhaps expand their consciousness and inspire new ways of thinking.
This is my contribution to the society as an artist.”

Orna’s most inspiring works, like her rendition of the Last Supper, are provocative and
visionary. They infuse us with a sense of hope, curiosity, and remind us of the boundlessness of
existence, thus serving as a companion in our own journey towards enlightenment.
Orna Ben-Shoshan has been an auto deduct artist for the past 30 years. Her artwork was
exhibited in numerous locations in the USA, Europe and Israel. Her Major motivation as a visual
artist is to share her visions with others to expand their consciousness and inspire new ways of
thinking.

During 2008, Orna has embarked on a new and challenging project: Her artwork became the
theme of a new set of reading cards: "King Solomon Cards", a new and innovative divination
tool which combines her metaphysical art with ancient Kabalistic symbols. Please visit:
