Fitz and Molly
This painting was born from a heartbreaking scene in the first volume of Robin Hobb’s third trilogy in the The Farseer series. My intent was not to replicate the author’s imagery precisely, but rather to give form to Fitz’s boundless grief at the death of his childhood love, Molly. In moments of loss such as these—when heart and spirit are torn beyond repair—it seems that only the heavens themselves can withstand the depth of such sorrow.
Efrat Ram
Efrat Ram lives and creates in the Jezreel Valley, where wide horizons nurture her imagination. Alongside her academic career as a researcher and lecturer in political and moral philosophy, she has cultivated a parallel world of art. Without any formal training, she discovered painting at the age of 47, and two years later began studying under the social artist Moti Golan. Working primarily in oil on canvas, Efrat draws inspiration from the timeless beauty of Renaissance and Baroque masters and from contemporary voices such as Christopher Remmers and Roberto Ferri. Her paintings inhabit the realm of imagination and fantasy, where figures and forms emerge to invite viewers into moments of wonder. Through delicate layers of color and image, she seeks to stir both thought and feeling—opening a space where the eye lingers, and the mind begins to dream.
