Eyes wide shut
I painted this piece while going through a personal crisis. During that time, I felt unable to see the good and the beautiful in life,hence the title, "My eyes are open without seeing the sky," taken from Arik Einstein’s song *Children of Life* (Yeladim Shel HaChayim). The flowers in the painting are beautiful and in bloom, yet they are veiled by a layer of white paint that obscures their beauty. "My eyes are open without seeing the sky Without seeing the blue of the sea, the green of the tree Without hearing beautiful melodies like I used to Without seeing things as they really are" And if you’d like to read how AI described the artwork: Soft pink and chalky white fields surround a loose vertical gathering of translucent blossoms, punctuated by tiny dark marks and scattered droplets. Layered acrylic brushwork, scraped passages, delicate linear details, and splattered paint give the canvas a tactile, weathered surface. Its muted palette creates a quiet, airy mood suited to a bedroom, hallway, or softly furnished living room.
Liat Segal Menashe
Liat Segal-Menashe designs eyewear by day and creates abstract art by night. Shortly after her children fall asleep, she brings out her paints and canvas and lets her imagination take flight. Liat has been involved in art since childhood. Her artistic style has evolved over the years, but for the past decade, abstract painting has proven to be her enduring passion. Through her paintings, Liat seeks to convey emotion, a sense of things the eye does not necessarily see. For instance, she aims to evoke the feeling of a bloom without painting a flower in the traditional sense. The color pink chose her; every painting she started, whether she intended it or not, ended up featuring pink. This color, in its various shades, has become her artistic signature. She signs the back of every painting with a quote from an Israeli or international song that stirred her heart. words that, in her view, capture the state of mind she was in while painting or the emotion she sought to convey onto the canvas.
