ARTIST PROFILE
ELISHEVA NESIS Israeli artist – available through Go Global Art
Elisheva Nesis trained as an artist in Moscow but now lives and works in Jerusalem, Israel. She studied fine art in Russia at the Stavropol Art School (P.Gorban’s studio) and in Israel at the Betsalel Academy of Fine Arts. After receiving her M.A. degree in writing from the Moscow Literature Institute and a D.M. Degree, she also completed a postgraduate course in psychiatry in Stavropol Medical Academy. She is a Fellow of the Israel Professional Artists’ Association (IPAA). For Nesis, art is a spiritual practice, and her inimitable style, with its rich, vivid colours and recognisable elements – angels, cats, women and wine – borders on the surreal. It conveys a feeling of imagination and fantasy. “My main interest is looking for signs of mysteries in our life and studying evidence of their penetrations into the real world. Almost all my paintings and books are around this theme. Also, I’ve been trying to detect mysterious penetrations in some border individuals. So it was just natural to me to settle in Jerusalem, the most mysterious place in the world. This city has a great influence on my paintings.” Elisheva Nesis Nesis has exhibited widley and has over 300 paintings and drawings in private collections around the world, including locations in the USA, Germany, UK, France, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, Australia, Italy, and the Netherlands. Elisheva Nesis is one of several artists and galleries around the globe choosing to exhibit and sell works through Go Global Art, an art marketing organisation based in London but representing artists worldwide. www.goglobalart.com
