Miriam Cabessa | Identity from the Infinity
Miriam Cabessa is an Israeli-American painter, winner of the 2022 Israeli Ministry of Culture Lifetime Achievement Award. Cabessa was born in Morocco, raised in Israel, and has lived and worked in New York City since 2000. Her slow action painting has been internationally recognized since 1997 when she represented Israel at the Venice Biennale.
Over the past two decades, she has abstained from using brushes, opting to make marks with objects and her body. Her imagery ranges from organic to mechanistic with surfaces that are both haptically handmade and digitally serene. Cabessa has shown extensively in the U.S.A., Europe, and Israel.
