Livnat Giat (born 1974, Israel) is a visual artist living and working in Tel Aviv. Her paintings range from acrylic on canvas to watercolor on paper, and are characterized by the use of transparencies, layers, and imagery that shifts between the natural and the constructed, the organic and the geometric.
Her inspiration is deeply rooted in vegetation and nature, and she explores the ways in which natural processes reflect emotional and psychological states, as well as visual language. Her creative process begins with photography—images captured during moments of wandering and observation. These photographs are digitally processed through various filters, then translated onto the painting surface using geometric lines and networks of form and color.
Giat holds a B.Ed.F.A in Art from the Faculty of Arts – Hamidrasha at Beit Berl College (2008), where she was also awarded an excellence scholarship. She previously studied interior design at Ascola Tel Aviv and photography. This multidisciplinary background is evident in her artistic practice, which integrates photography as a primary source and essential foundation for her final paintings.
Her work has been exhibited in galleries, solo shows, and group exhibitions, and has been featured in Haaretz magazine and various cultural publications. Giat’s artworks are part of the Leumi Bank collection as well as private collections in Israel and abroad.
