About Anat
I'm Anat, and I specialize in creating personalized fine art pieces that capture the essence of inner beauty and strength through charcoal art. Whether it's celebrating your own journey or honoring a loved one, my photorealistic portraits focus on the eyes to convey the depth of one's soul. These timeless artworks become cherished family heirlooms, serving as a constant reminder of the inherent beauty and power within us all.
intimacy of the individual
My work is an exploration of intimacy—within people, within nature, and within the quiet stories that connect us all. Through photorealistic charcoal portraits and paintings of landscapes and animals, I focus on the details that reveal truth: the depth of an iris, the curve of a wrinkle, the softness of fur, the stillness of a mountain. These moments help me understand my subjects, and I aim to reflect their beauty back to the them.
Creating art has become a way for me to see people—and the world—with compassion and presence. Whether I’m drawing someone’s portrait or capturing the strength of an animal or landscape, my intention is the same: to honor their spirit and help others feel the beauty and power that already exists within them.
My artistic path shifted when I left the fast pace of New York City and traveled alone through nine countries, including Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, Portugal, India, and Nepal. That journey challenged me and helped me grow in ways I never expected. Traveling alone taught me courage, confidence, and how to trust myself—lessons that continue to shape how I see and create.
If you feel drawn to my art, I would love to create something meaningful with you—something that reflects your story, your loved ones, or the places and beings that inspire you.
art is my guiding light
Mentors
My greatest teacher has been traveling and I was fortunate to find mentors along the way that helped me understand my potential. The first was Rohit Kishan, an artist in Rajasthan, India who taught the importance of breathing and being present with artwork in a fun, joyful and peaceful environment. Rohit has his students do a short meditation before creating, which transformed my creative experience.
My second mentor, Mahadeb, is a Himalayan landscape artist in Pokhara, Nepal, who did not share a common language with me but we were able to connect beyond language. I managed to find a translator while learning from him. Mahadeb is a self-taught artist and creates in a quiet, gentle, ever-patient way, which inspired me immensely coming from a fast-paced city environment.
My mentors and I had leisurely conversations while creating, which humbled me and taught me to enjoy the process rather than taking it too seriously. It taught me that art comes from a place of joy.
I'd love to connect with you for a heartfelt conversation where I learn about your story, enabling me to craft a bespoke piece that reflects your unique essence and potential.
