"Windows of Opportunity", Vibrant Modern Encaustic Abstract, White and Orange

"Windows of Opportunity", Vibrant Modern Encaustic Abstract, White and Orange

By Rinat Goren

Located in Carmel, CA

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...

"'I' if For Individuals", Colorful Contemporary Encaustic Figurative Painting

By Rinat Goren

Located in Carmel, CA

Rinat Goren (Israeli, American, born 1964) "'I' is For Individuals" 2023 Encaustic paint on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting. “I Is for Individuals” is a contemplative piece by Rinat Goren. Rendered in encaustic, the work features a rhythmic field of softly silhouetted human figures interspersed with horizontal bands of warm ochre, rust, and muted red. The palette is restrained yet expressive, allowing form, spacing, and repetition to carry the emotional weight of the composition. Goren’s signature encaustic technique creates a luminous, layered surface in which wax, pigment, and drawing coexist. The figures appear both distinct and anonymous, suspended within a subtle grid that suggests structure, systems, and shared space. Each figure maintains its own posture and presence, reinforcing the theme of individuality within a collective environment. Conceptually, the work reflects on identity, autonomy, and coexistence. The title underscores this tension, emphasizing the singular “I” while situating it within a larger context. “I Is for Individuals” exemplifies Goren’s ability to merge abstraction and figuration into a quiet, psychologically resonant visual 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.
