Korin Abisdris is an active multidisciplinary artist and a graduate of the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Her work is frequently exhibited in galleries and art venues both in Israel and internationally. Abisdris’s practice revolves around the self-portrait as a fluid, shifting, and subversive image. Mastering a wide range of styles and mediums, from oil and acrylic painting to drawing and digital compositions, her work explores the boundaries between humor and vulnerability, chaos and tenderness, and the intimate and the public. Drawing daily as a form of meditation and self-inquiry, Abisdris transforms fragments of contemporary visual culture, from social media and advertising to art history and popular entertainment, into a rich personal mythology. Her expressive, spontaneous line captures fleeting emotional states while weaving together the visual languages of Surrealism, Dada, Modernism, and Pop with the raw immediacy of street culture. By inserting her own figure into iconic artworks and digital imagery, she re-stages identity as a performance of gender, role, and gaze. The result is a vivid, ironic, and self-aware body of work that reflects on the overstimulated visual reality of our time and the paradoxes of visibility and authenticity.
