Discipline: Contemporary Paintings and Drawings
Born: 1994

Tal Simon, a distinguished artist born in 1994, creates dynamic tension through his paintings and drawings, exploring the interplay between natural forms and digital abstraction. A graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem (BFA with Honors, 2021), Simon’s work delves into themes of time, memory, and ephemerality, reflecting on the concept of “painterly time.”

His unique approach has garnered him the Department of Fine Arts Award of Excellence and the America-Israel Cultural Foundation Grant in 2021. Simon’s art, celebrated in private collections and notable exhibitions—including “Yoman Massa” (Tel Aviv, 2024), “Freshpaint Art Fair” (Jaffa, 2023), and “A Blue Marble” (Gallery Be’eri, 2021)—invites viewers into a visual dialogue between the organic and the artificial, capturing moments of transformation and becoming.
