Elina Gomberg

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in Tel Aviv. After two decades in architecture and interior design, I shifted my focus to painting.

In the past I worked with large-scale formats; now I mostly create small, human-scaled works that invite a more direct, intimate connection. I love capturing simple and familiar subjects — faces, bodies, the moments when light turns transparent at sunset, or a tree canopy that seems to float above us.

My process lives at the intersection of figuration and abstraction. I experiment beyond academic conventions, exploring painting through intuition and materiality. Movement is central to my work — perhaps shaped by my love of dance and animation.

I pay close attention to how viewers engage with a piece. This shapes how I approach exhibition spaces too: sometimes through large fabric works, sometimes through small details that invite closer looking. Either way, I want the act of looking itself to become more intentional, more alive.
