For Elisheva Nesis, painting is her way of communicating with the world, her search for signs and mysteries in our lives. Her works depict unusual interactions between objects and people, as well as exploring the ‘boredom of normality and social aggression’. Her surrealist paintings border between symbolic expressionism and psychological symbolism.
Elisheva Nesis (pen name: Elizaveta Mikhailichenko) is an artist and author. Back in the USSR, she graduated from Stavropol Medical Academy (with post-graduate work in psychiatry) and the Literary Institute. Since 1990, she has been living in Israel, where she studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. For the last 14 years, she has been a freelance artist. About 400 of her works are in private collections and museums around the world. She has had five solo exhibitions and many group shows. She has also co-authored several books of poetry and prose.
