Olga Yerushalmy

Artist / Printmaker / Art Teacher

 

I was born in St. Petersburg and have lived and worked in Israel since 1993. I studied at the Gan Nahum Art School in Rishon LeZion and at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

 

My art is a conversation with light and shadow, with the silence that remains after things disappear. I work in various techniques: painting, watercolor, etching, cyanotype, and linocut. Anything that catches my eye — a reflection in water, an old tree, a figure in the half-light — can become a starting point for exploration.

I’m drawn not to objects themselves, but to their disappearance, their trace — what lingers in memory.

 

My work has been shown in exhibitions in Israel and abroad and is part of both private and museum collections. I also teach, lead courses and workshops, and create spaces where seeing, feeling, and experimenting come together.
