Heute ist immer noch
The painting’s title references the German phrase *Heute ist immer noch* ("Today is still"), which Frida Kahlo inscribed on the back of her first work, *Self-Portrait in a Velvet Dress* (1926). It conveys the profound idea that the present moment never truly ends—reflecting the spirit's power to persist (the "still") within the reality of daily life (the "today"). A large-scale work in shades of pink, evoking a field of flowers. Layers of acrylic paint have been brushed, dragged, and revealed through one another, creating a surface that shifts between airy expanses and dense, rugged marks. Its refined color palette creates a calm, warm presence, making it particularly well-suited for a living room, bedroom, or workspace.
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.
