Panel Coating

Kalanit Malkin has a special home in which each corner reflects the spirit of creativity, and each space transmits a unique and different form of artistic expression. Indeed, her home was always a place for artistic research and experimentation. Her drive to work, collect, investigate, and challenge materials is the major motivation for her creations. Home is an ideal place for investigating materials as well as emotions revolving around the essence of a woman at home.

Malkin’s professional journey led her from interior design studies to architecture, based on her recognition that she needed to deviate from mere aesthetics and out of her desire to make an impact. Through the architectural lens, she discovers the deep meaning of the home as a symbol of spiritual and personal identity. Since she grew up in a semi-religious home, a fundamental part of her work deals with the home experience and the functional expectations of women in various social settings. These expectations range from maintaining a clean and orderly home to conforming to other gender roles. Malkin attempts to cast doubt on the source of such norms and to suggest a space for diversity and freedom of choice. In her work, the artist expresses concepts of femininity, respect for women, conservatism, and domesticity. She attempts to challenge these concepts and allow for alternative narratives, such as diversity, gender equality, and individual expression.

These works express the artist’s ongoing work in the field of architecture, which finds expression in almost every aspect of her daily life – in her work, her writing, and her creative efforts. The artist’s complex interaction between the materialism of the physical spaces and the ongoing metaphorical investigation of her personal identity creates a rich and detailed fabric of meaning, sentiment, and self-discovery.
