The Ascending Note
A seated cellist leans into her instrument, her face lifted as one hand reaches along the fingerboard and the other draws the bow across the strings. Three-dimensional modeling defines the expressive features, textured clothing, slender fingers, and broad wooden form, while the bronze surface moves between warm brown and golden highlights. The upward gesture creates a focused, lyrical mood.

ZABAR ELISHEVA
I have been a sculptor for 25 years. I studied sculpture in the United States and create realistic bronze sculptures, as well as sculptures made of papier-mâché. Most of my inspiration comes from the human landscape that surrounds me. In recent years, I have also been painting in two different techniques: either with alcohol inks, which have a magical appeal for me, or with oil paints mixed with cold wax. I have participated in numerous exhibitions in Israel and abroad, and my works have been sold and are held in private collections in Israel and in many countries around the world, including Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, the United States, Russia, Greece, and more.
