Watch and Be Cured – The Healing Powers of Orna Ben-Shoshan’s Art
Monday, January 4th, 2010Thousands of people are making their way among the booths of the large art festival in Tel Aviv, struggling crowdedness. A young tired woman is pulled by her little son towards one of the exhibition booths: “Mom, come see what’s in there!” From a distance, she detects a happy colorful scene that magnetises her. Such amazing odd artwork, she has never seen before. Her child’s enthusiasm has instantly passed to her and filled her with curiosity . They spent half an hour gazing at the paintings as the pupils of their eyes widen with awe. A wide smile have spread over the mother’s face and her energies ascended as she explored the paintings one by one, absorbing the spiritual messages reflected from them.
As a visitor at the art festival, I was standing there among dozens of people, glancing with wonder at their responses to the exhibit: Their integration with the paintings was almost instant – Something positive had flown from the artwork and improved their feelings. An atmosphere of joy, revival and uplift was clearly sizeable in the audience which has already absorbed a lot at that evening. It was obvious that these paintings of Orna Ben-Shoshan could not be ignored, and their impact on the viewers is powerful, even magical.
