In The Empty Seat, Lior Yahav’s delicate brushwork and emotional precision transform a simple armchair into a profound exploration of absence and presence. Every stroke of paint reveals a soft, textured surface that evokes both familiarity and an unsettling vacancy. The muted palette, paired with gentle light and shadow, heightens the sense of quiet solitude, drawing attention to the space left behind. This painting transcends the depiction of furniture, becoming a meditation on memory, loss, and the silent narratives objects hold in their stillness
