Tali Navon’s visual language is characterized by local themes based on her life in Tel Aviv so that her work appears anthropological in nature. Her work also explores universal themes. 
Major themes in her work include: autobiographical issues, Tel Aviv and Israeli history and contemporary culture, urbanism, collective memory, identity, femininity, motherhood and the fragility and innocence of childhood. This sense of fragility is common to all her works. She incorporates elements of drawing into her minimalist paintings (that are often indistinguishable from drawings), focusing on a limited number of human figures in mostly abstract environments. Using a few major colors, her palette is conservative but is highly expressive.
