Nirit Shaham

Nirit Shacham is a self‑taught artist who made a bold decision at the age of 40 to change the course of her life. During the COVID‑19 pandemic, like many others, she took a step back to reflect on her purpose, fulfillment, and personal happiness. After a successful career in the defense industry, she chose to leave her office job—not for a more lucrative position, but to pursue a personal dream: to create. Her artistic practice centers on contemporary wall art, crafted through a mixed‑media approach that blends wood, resin, alcohol inks, pigments, and layered techniques. Working from her home studio in Manof, in the Galilee, she creates expressive, vibrant pieces that invite viewers into moments of depth, movement, and emotion. The Journey to Create Nirit's journey into the art world has been one of self‑discovery and perseverance. With no formal artistic training, she immersed herself in learning through experimentation—embracing trial, error, and exploration. As her artistic language evolved, she found herself drawn to bold colors, flowing textures, and compositions that blur the line between abstraction and narrative. Along this journey, she learned to embrace failure, push past personal limits, and tackle new and unfamiliar challenges—from mastering materials to developing her own mixed‑media techniques. Why Is It Unique? Each artwork is a personal and inspiring journey. Working with resin and alcohol inks—both fluid and dynamic materials—leads to unpredictable evolutions that ensure every piece is truly one‑of‑a‑kind. The multi‑layered process creates depth, luminosity, and movement that shift with the light, offering viewers an ever‑changing experience. Nirit’s wall art reflects a world of emotion, curiosity, and transformation—inviting each viewer to pause, breathe, and connect with something beyond the surface.
