Shade at the Desert Edge
A cluster of wind-shaped trees rises beside an open sandy plain, beneath a broad blue sky crossed by soft clouds. Layered pastel marks on paper shift between velvety passages and brisk, sketch-like strokes, giving the foliage and shadowed ground a tactile rhythm. The cool sky and sunlit ochres create a calm, spacious mood suited to a bedroom, office, or quiet living area.
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.
