TAMAR RODED (B. 1983, ISRAEL)
Tamar Roded graduated from Beit Berl College School of Art – Hamidrasha in 2011 and Mandel Program for Cultural Leadership in 2020.

The painting is not an imitation of “what I see,” but a constant reflection of the “essence” of vision itself. Roded’s work has been showcased in solo and group exhibitions including the Glo’Art Gallery, Lanaken, Belgium, the ZK Contemporary Gallery, San Francisco, USA, Lendava Gallery Museum, Slovenia, the Negev Museum of Art, Beer Sheva, Israel, Tel Aviv, Israel, and Litvak Contemporary gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel.
