spirit of freedom
A horse’s head and upper body emerge from the natural silhouette of a live-edge wood panel, with the grain and openings of the surface becoming part of the composition. Oil paint is worked in soft transitions and darker linear accents through the mane and contours, allowing the warm wood to remain visible and active. The result feels grounded, tactile, and closely connected to the character of the material.

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.
