Elena Ginsburg

My name is Yelena Ginsburg, and I am an artist. I have been painting all my life, but the year 2021, the year of the pandemic, changed everything for me. I paint landscapes in an impressionistic style, abstract floristics with elements of Art Deco, and decorative air atmosphere paintings, mainly small-format works on canvas, including miniatures. In my work, I use acrylic paints. My paintings have been exhibited and are currently on display in a gallery in Jaffa. So, why did I start painting pictures? How to explain this conscious need? I cannot live otherwise. For me, it is an opportunity to express myself. All my adult life, I dreamed of painting... and now this opportunity has become a reality for me. The pandemic came hand in hand with inaction, but I found a solution, an opportunity to fulfill my dream... simply to start painting.

What is the purpose of art in my eyes? I believe the main goal of art is to show the observer a different world from what they see with their own eyes, to show them my world. If through my art, I managed to touch the soul of the observer, evoke pleasant memories, tears of sadness, or happiness, then I have achieved my goal. I want the observer's satisfaction, to give them a sense of happiness and assurance that everything will eventually be alright, that tomorrow the sun will rise, the flowers will bloom, the wind will settle, the moon will rise, and stars will twinkle in the night sky. This world and this life are beautiful! And if I manage to express that and evoke wonder, then I have achieved my goal.
