Naum Koen

Naum Koen (1921-2012) was a Bulgarian-Israeli artist known primarily for his abstract paintings and sculptures. Born in Bulgaria, he emigrated to Israel in 1949.

Koen's artistic style evolved throughout his career, moving from more figurative work to increasingly abstract forms. His paintings often featured vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, exploring themes of light, space, and movement. His sculptures, frequently constructed from metal, similarly emphasized abstract forms and the interplay of light and shadow.

Koen exhibited his work extensively in Israel and internationally, and his pieces are held in numerous public and private collections. He is considered a significant figure in Israeli abstract art.
