JERUSALEM ARTIST
GILA ELYASHAR-STOCKLISKY

In the heart of Jerusalem, in the spacious studio in my home, in the green Beit HaKerem neighborhood, I am fulfilling my creative experiences. The creative work is like breathable air for me. Since my childhood, creative doing has been a fundamental part of my life. In painting and sculpture my sources of influence are varied. As a village girl, flora and fauna are dominant in my work. So is Judaism, mythology and children’s Literature. Sometimes a certain theme will even became a series, like the frogs in costume or the fish and doll figures. I give everyone a name according to character. When I need time to think and refresh, I turn to my favorite piece of jeweler design. Here I deal with color and material in another way. Pearls and gems in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes are becoming unique jewelry of its kind. Necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
