Shaindy Eisenberg, nee Wolff, draws inspiration from her travels with her grandmother, Rebbitzen Esther Jungreis, across the world, to all of our disparate and far-flung Jewish communities, and from her daily walks in Old Jerusalem, the mother city from which, so long ago, we all came.
This is the joy and the spark felt in her work. There is a strength gained from interaction with the women of the Israeli Army, and a subtle darkness in some paintings that speaks of her relationship with terror victims.
But one of her strongest artistic impulses is the freshness and jubilation that stems from the young women, whose beautiful enthusiasm and fresh vitality flourish and blossom under her dedicated tutelage. It is this energy we see in her paintings.
Her interaction with some of the great Judaic painters of our time only strengthened her ability to reproduce on canvas that Jewish spark we find in all our souls.
Her greatest inspiration is the life she helps her husband live, studying the holy Torah day and night. Just as her ancient ancestor, King David, created the poetic Book of Tehillim to express his spiritual exultation, so, too, Shaindy pours out her awe and exhilaration in a sweeping, scintillating rainbow of spiritual emotion on her canvases.
Every brush stroke, every hue, is saturated with the music of the Torah life of holy Jerusalem. |
