“Aspire to happiness, to calm a tempestuous soul, towards serenity “ – that’s the way Eli Gross articulates the nature of his art. In his youth he was a student of the famous artists Jacob El Hanani and Gabi Ben Zano. Recently after half a century of a demanding carrier, Eli has finally realized his age old dream. He studies art at Avni art institute and is an active artist, painter and sculptor motivated by the longing for absolute happiness and tranquility for a turbulent soul, for moments of serenity facilitated by silent embrace and harmonious movement.
Fifty years of world-wide career went by, up to the moment I decided that I had to preserve the fragments of my experiences related to distant places and people that I live and love, as I see them.
I give the painting brush the freedom of speech - the creation of the whole out of fragments of my memories and as an answer to my deep, primal need to paint.
So far away ... The beaches where we spent time together,
And yet so close ... They are always with me.
And yet so close ... I conjure you from my imagination, in streams of colour, onto the canvas.
So far away ... you can reach the end of the world ...
But as long as I have your love ... you are always close.
