About
Meet Haena Chen Bitton
A local Floridian originally from Israel, self-taught artist and art curator. Since I was a child I was truly fascinated with all forms of visual creative expressions. Personal works of art utilize acrylic mediums to form abstract, figurative expressions through a release of feelings, and thoughts portraying a personal
sentiment. From free-flowing, abstract, figurative to pop art, my various styles open up the viewer to a world of curiosities! I enjoy freeing myself through my art showcasing my innate response to the interaction we face as humans with the world and society’s influence on mankind’s state of reality. Creating thought-provoking art which not only serves as a decoration but also carries along with intelligent conversation with a wealth of context and a particular message to its present beholder. My art speaks to me and alongside the visual form, I enjoy writing poems about my creations that go along with my art. I find true joy in
connecting and de-constructing the dots of a story, discovering things that were not always seemingly there, yet have always belonged. I founded “PaintingPicnik” to share the pleasant and healing effects of art with all by replacing fears with the courage to explore art in inspirational “En Plein Air” settings throughout south florida.
Artist Statement
My art is imagination brought to life, half planned and the other half meeting various “happy accidents” along the way. When art takes on a transcendental beyond the mundane visual to capture a storyline artfully, it has a soul. I believe that intelligent art context is a vital ingredient that gives the painting its true flavor. I find life quite fascinating, a spiritual experience captured in a body form, perhaps why I lend myself to express by intermingling figures with abstraction. I hope for the world of art to be a wonderful, beneficial, and inspiring place for all humankind because life is art and art is life! Everyone is an artist in some shape or form.
