Orna says:

“Painting for me is a journey, a journey from one point to another on the canvas, a journey of colors and materials and a spiritual inner journey.

I range from abstract to figurative. The use of different styles and techniques allows me to express through my art my inner world and the world outside. In the figurative painting I deal with observation and attempt to depict reality as I perceive and experience it. The subjects I deal with are interior spaces, plants, portraits, and figures, to whom I try to give a personal interpretation. In the abstract painting in vivid colors, I give expression to my inner feelings and combine repetitive images from nature, which I am connected to, as sea, corals, fish, leaves, branches and birds as well as Mandalas.

I can say that in my work as a lawyer, the logical aspect in my life is mainly expressed, while in painting, my emotional aspect is reflected.”
