Touch of a Butterfly
Liat Manasherov
I began my artistic path with realistic, precise painting, driven by a need for control. Over time I understood that this need was limiting me, and I started using art as a way to learn to let go. I switched to painting with my right hand, my weaker hand, to make room for unexpected lines and imperfection in the work. What began as an exercise gradually became the language that feels most like mine. Today I create intuitively, without a grid, letting my hand lead. Many of my works begin with a face and an expression that emerges as I paint, and only afterward does the world around it reveal itself. The faces are not portraits of a specific person, but a moment of identity and emotion, sometimes tender and embracing, sometimes intense and turbulent. I studied visual communication at HIT and currently work in product design
