Malka Tsentsiper

Originally educated in mathematics and musicology, she pursued a career in IT as a software engineer while simultaneously exploring the arts. Eventually, she devoted herself entirely to art, leaving her IT position to become a full-time artist.

In her work, Malka employs various techniques, styles, and themes in both painting and sculpture, known for their vibrant, often contrasting colors, and exuberance for life. She has a particular fondness for the naïve style and was awarded the top prize in this category at the 2009 Moscow International Art Festival for her paintings depicting Jewish life in the Shtetl, celebrated for their unique national originality.

Following her success, Malka has had solo exhibitions at significant venues such as the National Museum in Minsk, the Chagall House-Museum in Vitebsk, and in cities like Riga, Kiev, Vilnius, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. Additionally, she has hosted numerous solo and group exhibitions across Israel, Europe, and the USA, with her works featured in museum collections in Riga, Minsk, New Jersey, Quebec, and private collections worldwide.

Malka is a member of the Association of Painters and Sculptors in Israel and currently resides and creates in Modiin, Israel.
