Amit Berman (b.1994) is a self-taught painter based in Tel Aviv. His paintings depict domestic, everyday moments, exploring intimacy infused with existential human insecurities. Berman’s process starts with photography, which acts as the initial inspiration for the paintings that are then transformed into independent artwork. Although melancholia and loneliness are recurring themes in his oeuvre, Berman's paintings use a bright, pastel color palette alongside playful and nostalgic motifs, thus creating a delicate balance between his subject matter and aesthetic approach. This tension generates a safe space that constantly shifts between desire and fear, romance, vulnerability, and loneliness.
