Tigist Yoseph Ron

Tigist mainly works with natural charcoal on paper. She loves the simplicity and softness that charcoal can create. Working in black and white helps her focus on the story, emotions, and sense of light. The main themes in Her work are femininity and motherhood. The starting point for her works generally is a person she is close to, but as the process progresses, the specific identity of the person is slightly obscured in order to emphasize the movement and rhythm that are created. Sometimes the way the light falls on a figure or strong emotions leads her to place more emphasis on the relations between the shapes and forms in the drawing.
