Met for a moment, parted for good
A pair of small paintings. I didn't set out to create a pair, but once I finished, there was no doubt in my mind that they belonged together. Their color palettes differ, yet they share a unique connection,much like people do. They would be perfect for a bedroom, with one placed on each side of the bed. The title is drawn from the song "Zemer Noga" by the band HaChalonot HaGvohim (The High Windows)—a song you likely recognize as the one Ilan Ramon dedicated to his wife from space. Originally, the phrase comes from the *Zohar*. To me, the quote "meeting briefly, parting for long" signifies paths (or people) that touch for a fleeting moment before separating forever. And if you’d like to read how AI describes the artwork: Pale fields of blush, white, gray, and earthy brown overlap in an open abstract composition. Layered acrylic, rubbed transitions, and irregular scraped marks give the canvas a weathered, tactile surface without disturbing its quiet balance. Its muted palette creates a restful presence suited to a bedroom, hallway, or softly styled office.
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.
