Amit Berman Israel, b. 1994

Amit Berman’s work is deeply autobiographical, reflecting his personal experiences and relationships through his own perspective or those of his partner. His practice explores themes of intimacy, longing, and the fleeting beauty of mundane moments, capturing their emotional resonance through vivid, painterly expression. For Berman, painting is both a ritual and a meditative process, allowing him to navigate universal feelings such as love, fear, anxiety, and the search for connection.

 

At the core of his work lies a Romantic sensibility, where nature is idealized as a space of transformation and individuality. Movement, vitality, and the depiction of beauty are central to his artistic language, blending an almost nostalgic reverence for nature with a contemporary lens. Berman often draws upon art historical references, linking real-life moments with symbolic imagery that enriches his storytelling. Each painting begins with a specific image in mind, tied to his emotional landscape and current experiences, creating works that are both personal and universally resonant.

 

Berman recently had a solo exhibition at “Alon Segev Gallery” in Tel Aviv, Israel and is currently taking part in a group exhibition at the Haifa Museum of Art (Until January 2026). He was part of ‘I confini dell’alterità / The Contours of Otherness at the Jewish Museum Venice during the 2024 Venice Biennale who have also recently acquired his work A Transferable Safe Space into their permanent collection. Berman was selected for prestigious residencies at The Cabin in Los Angeles (November 2024) and Cabane Georgina in Marseille (July 2024).
