(1981)
Reut Dafna is a figurative artist working primarily in oil painting and charcoal powder drawing. She lives and works in Kibbutz Maoz Haim. A graduate of the Tel-Hai Art Institute with a bachelor’s degree, she studied classical drawing with Avinoam Kosowsky and oil painting with Elie Shamir. Dafna’s work draws on the people and landscapes of her immediate surroundings. In recent years, she has worked extensively from historical photographs found in family albums and kibbutz archives, using contemporary painting to explore memory, community, belonging, and the relationship between past and present. Her charcoal powder drawings are built through multiple layers, creating subtle variations of tone, texture, and depth. Dafna has presented a solo exhibition at the Uri and Rami Nehoshtan Museum, and her work has been shown at Fresh Paint Art Fair, Scope Miami Art Show, and other exhibitions in Israel and internationally. Her works are held in private and public collections in Israel and abroad.
