Rinat Goren (Israeli, American, born 1964) "Windows of Opportunity" 2021 Encaustic paint on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting. “Windows of Opportunity” unfolds as a quiet grid of softly rendered rectangles and window-like forms, layered in warm tones of apricot, saffron, pale peach, and muted white. Subtle line work and translucent wax layers give the surface a luminous, atmospheric depth. Goren’s encaustic technique allows each shape to feel both deliberate and ephemeral, evoking architectural plans, urban facades, and moments of pause within a structured environment. The repeated square and rectangular motifs suggest windows, thresholds, and openings, visual metaphors for possibility, transition, and choice. Fine incised lines and faint architectural markings add rhythm while preserving a sense of openness and calm. The painting balances abstraction with suggestion, offering viewers space for contemplation rather than narrative certainty. “Windows of Opportunity” is emblematic of Goren’s practice, which explores systems, repetition, and human-scaled geometry through a restrained, tactile language. About the Artist: Rinat Goren is an Israeli-American artist based in California whose contemporary encaustic works explore the relationship between thought, structure, and emotion. Born in Israel and residing most of her life in the U.S., Goren has long been drawn to both observation and creation, translating the complexity of the human mind into layered visual compositions. Her encaustic paintings—formed by applying molten beeswax mixed with pigment—evoke a tactile, sensory experience that reflects her fascination with systems, decision-making, and the creative act itself. She works with geometry, color, and abstraction to celebrate our innate capacity to reflect, choose, and act with intention. Goren’s process is rooted in one of the world’s oldest painting...

Rinat Goren (Israeli, American, born 1964) "Waiting" 2023 Encaustic paint on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting. “Waiting” is a refined, contemporary figurative-abstract encaustic work. The composition centers on a stylized female figure set against a richly layered grid of warm reds, oranges, and golden tones. The figure is integrated into the architectural structure of the painting, appearing both present and suspended within the surrounding geometry. Goren’s encaustic technique builds luminous depth through translucent wax layers, incised lines, and embedded shapes. The grid-like background evokes urban systems, schedules, and quiet rhythms, while the elongated figure introduces a human pause within this ordered framework. Her posture suggests stillness and anticipation, reinforcing the painting’s title and emotional undercurrent. Balancing abstraction with figuration, “Waiting” reflects Goren’s ongoing exploration of time, presence, and human experience within structured environments. The warm palette and tactile surface give the work an inviting yet contemplative quality.
