A hundred meters from the house, 2025

A sunlit woodland path opens with warmth and movement, bringing quiet energy to the room.

Loose, impressionistic brushwork turns this landscape into a lived moment rather than a fixed view. Pale ground, branching darks, and softened greens create a scene that feels both open and sheltered, with light carrying the eye inward. Tali Farhi’s painterly handling keeps the image active and inviting without losing its calm.

The composition is built around a clear passage through the landscape: a light-toned path or clearing moves inward while dark, angular branches cut across it and give the scene its structure. That contrast between openness and interruption keeps the painting visually alert. Farhi uses broken strokes and softened edges to let foliage, rock, earth, and shadow merge rather than separate too neatly. Creams, ochres, olive greens, and blue-greys shift across the surface in a way that rewards slow looking, with each area held together by light rather than outline.

Where It Fits

This square format and moderate scale make the work especially comfortable in a living room or lounge where people spend time looking rather than simply passing through. Its natural subject brings ease, but the stronger diagonals and shadowed passages stop it from fading into the background. It suits spaces with warm woods, soft neutrals, or layered textures, where its earthy light can echo the room’s palette while still giving the wall a sense of movement and depth.
