To My Beloved Land

Sharon Kipnis Chait is an Israeli artist and illustrator working primarily in a naïve visual language across a range of hand-crafted techniques, her practice explores memory, identity, belonging, and the emotional landscapes of everyday life. Her work draws from personal and family histories, combining nostalgic imagery, domestic rituals, food, nature, and symbols rooted in the Israeli landscape. Developed over recent years alongside a lifelong journey across three continents and an ongoing interest in the relationship between body and mind, her illustrations transform intimate experiences into poetic visual narratives. Kitchens, gardens, family memories, and fragments of daily life become recurring motifs through which she explores home, rootedness, and the hidden memory carried within the body. She has been studying illustration with Yana Buckler since 2021.
