About Silvia Rosenberg: Paintings
Born in Argentina in 1951, Silvia Cherbakoff Rosenberg lived in both Latin America and North America before moving to Israel in 1970. From 1975 to 1979 she studied in the Fine Arts Department at Jerusalem's Bezalel Academy and through the mid-1980s regularly exhibited her art in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. From 1986-1988 she studied interior architecture at Meimad and since then has worked as an interior designer, while continuing to paint. She exhibited her work into the early 1990s, but since the mid-1990s, with the expansion of the world wide web, has exclusively displayed her work on the web at www.ariga.com/silvia
Silvia Rosenberg is an expressionist, both figurative and abstract, whose work is first of all painterly, cool and passionate, colorful and informative, with a moral and spiritual stand that grows evident to the viewer on observation. Her work is attractive and decorative, but full of meanings obvous and hidden, and while she paints in 'series' there is a constant evolution in her subject matter and style.
From rocket ships and tulips cut from paper to goddesses and military jeeps floating through landscapes, her paintings are about both current events and her innermost feelings. Her Voyages to Promised Lands paintings were directly influenced by the original Space Shuttle launch as seen on TV, but also refer to a season spent in southern California, away from her home in Israel. The Bloody Lands series refers to the intifada years of 2001-2005, while the Hunting Season refers to the first intifada of 1987-1992. And there is the very popular Ripening Love series, nine industrial oil paintings of fruits and vegetables, each fruit or vegetable accompanied by a poem written by her husband, Robert Rosenberg. For many years a recuring motif in her work are 'Goddesses,' a way, for her, to deal with the sensibilities of her own womanhood as both an artist and a mother. Her latest work, mostly acrylic and mixed media on canvas, deals with several of these recurring themes, and finds Silvia at the peak of her powers as a painter.Silvia has not exhibited since the mid-1990s when the Internet made possible this online gallery of her work. She has sold many paintings and paperworks through the years to private buyers, in Germany, Australia, the U.S. and Israel. Prices range from $500 to $1,200. Many of her paintings have been sold, but remain available for purchases in various print forms, depending on the buyer's desires and intentions.
