While he continues to work in these media, Segalman's monotypes have gradually become his preeminent form of expression. He most often depicts two or three people engaged in a moment of emotional significance, usually in a tranquil domestic setting or an ephemeral beach scene. The faces of his characters are nondescript, as he lets their feelings and relationship be communicated through their clothing and physical positions. The expressionless faces and pastel palette employed by Segalman naturally draws Impressionist comparisons, though his obvious relationship with his models adds a personal element that Impressionism lacks. More than anything else, Segalman has found a way to capture the true beauty of a contemplative moment shared by two people in an intimate environment.
