Heddy Kun is an Israeli painter born in Zagreb in 1936. Her childhood was shaped by the Holocaust, in which her parents and her younger brother were murdered. She escaped the Nazis and went into hiding in Budapest with her grandmother and her older brother.
After studying at the Budapest Academy of Art, she moved to Israel in 1956, where she built her career. Her work has been shown in exhibitions in Israel and in cities including New York, London, Budapest, Sydney, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Toronto, Rome and Brussels. Her son, Shay Kun, is also a painter, an Israeli-American artist.
Detailed information about her style and specific works is not available, so this biography is limited to her training, her move to Israel and her record of exhibitions.
