“The exploration of various forms of movement as a central theme sparked my research and captivated my interest in delving into the essence of movement as a primary way of conveying ideas. This process enabled me to create, visualize, and express my thoughts, concepts, and emotions across different situations and through a diverse range of materials and objects.” – ORNA L. BROCK

“When I cast my eyes upon the landscape, it feels like I am gazing at a tranquil Arcadia: a scene of peaceful and idyllic beauty interrupted by glimmers, bursts, and glints of light, which not only brighten up the landscape but also serve as the symbolic focal point in the artwork.
I create abstract shapes, forms, and scenes that embody romantic ideals and evoke echoes of real and imaginary realms.
The landscape depicted could be interpreted as a fleeting glimpse into the unexplored realms of the cosmos or as a plunge into the depths of a storytelling odyssey rooted in ancient mythology.
I aim to infuse the landscapes I craft with a romanticism reminiscent of the bygone and the ancient, even though this essence is derived from the commonplace and the contemporary. Born from the every day, they are elevated to new heights and boundaries.”

Dr. Monica Ferrarini had written about Orna L.Brock artworks: 
“BROCK’s artworks are a reflection of her soul and her mind. They stem from her internal world and are faced with the external one, generating subjective dimensions and visions that come to life thanks to the exchange between microcosm and macrocosm. Hence, her photography is collocated in a path of inquiry and experimentation that starts from ordinary elements and spaces and then onto imaginary scenarios that trace a bridge between what’s perceptible and what’s not. It’s an artistic research guided by the soul and exploration of those intimate and ancient territories that are a means to access deeper and purer layers of reality. Powerful,  contemplative, abstract, and visionary, her photos are free from formal schemes and can unite tradition and contemporaneity beyond being able to capture and reveal the spiritual and sacred character of creation.”
