Self Embrace | The Anatomy of Comfort
4000 ILS
'Self Embrace' (Inner Echo) is an expressionist black and white oil painting of a female nude folding into herself. The work looks at the body as a place that can both carry pain and offer comfort: the gesture can be read as protection, as withdrawal, or as an attempt to be for yourself the hand that is not there from outside. The contrast of black and white leaves the emotion exposed and centers the eye on the simple anatomy of the embrace, with no distraction of color. Painted in 2018, 70 × 100 cm, oil on canvas, signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Its intimate, monochrome presence suits a bedroom, a reading corner, a studio or a therapy space. Available to buy or rent from Eliran Bar-On's studio.
