Snow Path Through Trees
A snowy landscape unfolds in broad, quiet bands of white and charcoal, interrupted by slender dark tree trunks and muted passages of teal and earth. The oil on wood surface gives the brushwork a firm, matte presence, with layered strokes that simplify the scene into light, shadow, and atmosphere. The result is contemplative and slightly hushed, with a strong sense of winter stillness.
Maya Geffen
Maya Gefen, born in 1988, holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design and a Masterโs degree in Visual Literacy from the Kibbutzim College of Education. In her paintings, Maya seeks to deconstruct our automatic interpretations of the world around us. She paints what she sees in a way that captures the transformation the image undergoes within her mind and as it is translated onto the canvas. Moving between realism and abstraction, her oil paintings are composed of expressive shapes and brushstrokes alongside a delicate, dreamlike blur. The imagery in her work is drawn from nature, which serves as a profound source of inspiration and creation for her. Maya's pieces feature animals, body parts, archaeological sites, and landscapes. Her emphasis on materiality and on forms in constant motion and flux blurs the definitions of these subjects, transforming them into a mysterious enigma. Maya Gefen lives in Kiryat Ono and is a mother of two. Alongside her art practice, she coordinates the art department at a high school and teaches art and craft privately.
