Painfull, but less
The title of the artwork is drawn from the song "Pachot Aval Ko'ev" (Less, Yet Painful) by Yehuda Poliker, with lyrics written by Yehonatan Geffen in 1990. To me, the phrase describes a process of healing—overcoming a breakup or coping with a crisis—a state where the pain remains present but its intensity has diminished, and time has begun to take effect. I painted it following a personal crisis, and the central object—unintentionally—reminded me of a human heart or lungs. Yet, the colors are joyful and express optimism. And if you’d like to read how AI describes the artwork: Pale pink, white, and soft gray fields overlap across an airy abstract composition, punctuated by scattered crimson marks and delicate spatters. Layered acrylic passages alternate between translucent veils, scraped strokes, and raised textured areas that give the canvas a tactile rhythm. Its restrained palette and gentle movement create a restful presence suited to a bedroom, living room, or quiet 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.
