Under the Lantern Tree
Two seated figures share a quiet table beneath sweeping tree branches, with small glowing lights suspended among dense foliage and a carpet of warm leaves below. Painted in oil on canvas, the work uses soft blending and visible brushwork to build a luminous, atmospheric surface. The amber and olive palette gives the scene an intimate, reflective mood.

My name is Harel Shemesh. I am 20 years old and from Petah Tikva. I primarily create oil paintings, combining rich, vibrant colors with a critical perspective on the reality and society in which we live. My works explore the gap between ideals and reality, as well as themes such as identity, emotions, and human experiences. My creative process begins with a personal idea or emotion and develops through layers of color and symbolism into a work that invites the viewer to interpret it in their own way.
