CV

אורה ראובן אמנות רב תחומית

Born 1948, located in Tel Aviv, Israel. 

I came to the art in the middle of my life, when had finished taking care of my family.

Multidisciplinary artist, my work involves virtual reality, painting, photography, processed images, video and sculpture, and deals with the relationship between self and society, the naked body and the naked soul, the aging body and the aging soul, nudity and nakedness.

I founded the cooperative not for profit P8 Gallery in 2008, and served as its artistic manager and curator 2008-15

Management Member in The Association of Women's Art and Gender.
