The first pain
A black and white acrylic painting capturing a child’s first encounter with physical pain. The raw expression freezes a universal moment of shock, fear, and vulnerability. Through stark contrast and minimal color, the work exposes the fragility of the human body from its earliest stage.

M. Zachi is an Israeli artist working primarily with black-and-white figurative acrylic paintings on canvas. His work focuses on intense portraits that explore human emotional states through sharp contrast, precise line work, and extreme color reduction. Moving between humor and pain, control and fracture, his paintings offer a direct and unfiltered observation of the human figure. Each piece creates a quiet space of confrontation, where tension often resides in what remains unspoken.
