• Michaela Mor is a painter based in Jerusalem. Graduate of the Department of Fine Arts at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design (2023). Her work probes the corporeal, investigating the body through a reflective gaze. She focuses on the continuous shifts of physical and emotional states, examining how these internal metamorphoses deeply sculpt the experience of existence. Her process of physical documentation emerges from expressive gestures — interweaving abstraction, erasure, and etching into the surface with the dense accumulation of color — ultimately forging canvases of rich, tactile texture.
