Isaac Cohen is a visual artist, software developer, and a graduate student in art history and curating at the University of Haifa. He holds a BFA and MFA from Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, where he received several awards and scholarships for excellence in drawing and painting. His work has been exhibited at Pyramid Gallery, the Nahum Gutman Museum, and other venues in Israel and Europe. In 2025, he was selected to participate in the Larnaca Biennale in Cyprus.

After completing his MFA, Cohen stepped back from art for several years, questioning its role in his life. During this period, he explored philosophy, psychology, and technology—a break that fundamentally reshaped his approach to making.

Cohen’s practice remains indifferent to dialogue with art history, contemporary art, or current affairs. His work is not a response to the past nor an engagement with contemporary discourse, but emerges from a private process of inquiry—focused on self and being. He moves between intuitive expressiveness and conceptual exploration, between analytical structure and bursts of unpredictable energy, shifting constantly between clarity and chaos, control and impulse.

To Cohen, art is not a commentary on the past or a vision for the future. It is a language that is always rearranging itself, absorbing new experiences and thoughts. His work seeks to create a space for questioning, observing, and remaining present in the ongoing flux of being.

He works mainly with everyday materials, avoiding technical formalism and tradition, seeking instead to create art that stands alongside history rather than follows it. Alongside his art, Cohen develops software solutions for artists and small businesses, viewing technology as an extension of his visual thinking and a tool for shaping experience.
