About the artist:
Ana Neifeld draws from a wide range of traditions, including medieval illuminated manuscripts, Rembrandt, American self-taught artists, and German Expressionism, approaching painting as a form of inquiry. Her work merges observation, imagination, and narrative, bending form to convey a felt, multidimensional experience. She is drawn to moments that are ordinary yet verge on the otherworldly, using painting to hold complexity and the ineffable with subtlety and care.

Specs:
Kid depicts a girl pulling a young goat in for a kiss as it limply complies, creating a delicate tension between tenderness and control. Neifeld renders the girl’s face in gray and flat tones, while the goat remains naturalistic, emphasizing the contrast between figure and animal. The composition evolved through multiple revisions- including changing the figure from boy to girl- until the flattened face established the painting’s equilibrium. The work reflects Neifeld’s process of continually testing form until the intended meaning emerges, balancing observation, intuition, and emotional resonance.More
