About Avi Eliassaf

Born in Israel, 1955, lives in Israel
​
After twenty five years of hard labor,
exchanged the world of business and technology
for life of creativity closer to nature/
​
The sculptures deal with transitions
from slavery to freedom, from the inside out.

From within the experience of the holocaust second generation,
memories are examined by generating a sense of imprisonment and oppression.

The pain and loss are marked in the stone, creating tension
between the absent, which stands exposed and hollow, and the present.
