Lioness on Wood
A lioness’s head emerges across the natural grain of a cut wood slab, her gaze turned upward and outward. Oil paint is handled with loose, confident strokes and fine highlights around the eyes, muzzle, and whiskers, allowing the warm browns and cracks of the wood to remain active in the composition. The result feels grounded, alert, and closely tied to the character of the material.

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.
