Ornamented Lion Gaze
A frontal lion’s face fills the center of the wood surface, built from layered feathers, geometric motifs, and symmetrical linework in ochre, orange, black, and white. Acrylic paint sits crisply against the natural grain, using the organic shape of the wood to frame the image. The result feels grounded, bold, and decorative without losing its graphic clarity.

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.
