Feathered Gaze
A centered portrait of a figure in a feathered headdress emerges from the dark concentric grain of a cut wood slab. Oil paint is applied with confident, expressive brushwork, using warm browns, black, blue, and orange highlights to model the face and adornment. The contrast between the natural wood surface and the painted image gives the piece a grounded, striking presence.

Anat Cohen (b. 1964) is an Israeli figurative artist based in Hod HaSharon, who acquired her formal art education at the Beit Berl Art College (HaMidrasha). Her body of work encompasses oil and acrylic paintings created on canvas alongside raw, live-edge natural wood slices. Her practice on wood centers on a continuous dialogue with the organic medium, seamlessly integrating natural fissures, rings, knots, and textures directly into the composition and narrative of each piece. Cohen’s realistic-figurative style explores the vitality of wildlife, universal symbolism, human nature, and feminine strength, fusing anatomical precision with organic abstraction to create immersive, soulful, and singular works of art.
