RONA PERLMAN
Rona Perlman is a Tel Aviv–based figurative painter whose work explores intimate moments of everyday life, often within the sphere of family and close relationships. Rooted in classical painting traditions yet marked by a contemporary sensitivity, her paintings balance structural clarity with expressive, tactile brushwork, moving between representation and abstraction. Perlman’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in Israel and abroad and is held in private and public collections.
