Light Across the Jezreel Valley
A broad green meadow stretches beneath a pale blue sky, with a dense stand of trees anchoring the left edge and bands of sunlight crossing the foreground. Soft, blended oil brushwork gives the canvas an atmospheric surface, while warmer ochre and brown passages add depth to the grass. The open composition creates a serene, restorative presence 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.
