This 100 × 80 cm oil painting invites viewers into a world of nostalgia and emotion, where childhood memories and introspection blend into a delicate, dreamlike composition.
The painting portrays a young girl standing in a softly blurred environment, reaching out as if searching for something just beyond her grasp. Her back is turned to the viewer, allowing for an open interpretation of her thoughts—perhaps wonder, perhaps longing for a place or moment lost in time. The earthy browns, muted golds, and deep greens create a warm yet melancholic tone, while subtle hints of blue add depth and emotional contrast. The expressive brushwork, combined with dripping paint effects, enhances the sense of fading memories, reinforcing the theme of nostalgia.
Livnat Bashari Shuli’s ability to infuse human emotion into her work makes this piece a compelling addition to any collection. It is ideally suited for art galleries, meditation spaces, and private collections, where its poetic essence can be fully appreciated. "Longing" is more than a painting—it is a window into the delicate and fleeting nature of childhood and memory.
