Green Banks, Quiet Water
A quiet body of water opens between loosely defined green banks beneath a broad, clouded sky. Layered oil strokes sweep across the wood surface, shifting from pale blue and gray to dense emerald foliage and earthy brown accents. The softened contours and horizontal movement create an airy, meditative landscape suited to a living room, bedroom, or office.
Ester Agassi Cohen
My artistic approach is based on stain painting using a method of creative release, the technique through which I learned to paint and which I apply in my own art and with my students. I paint both from observation and imagination, with my main subjects being the landscapes of my childhood, moving between Kibbutz Magen in the western Negev and Jerusalem, where I was born. My work combines different media, mainly oil on canvas and linen, pastels, watercolor, and gouache. Each medium allows me room to search and wander creatively, giving me the freedom to express painterly stains, release, and vibrant color in its own distinct way.
