Elisha's pastel palette comes straight from the hues of the Jerusalem Stones. Israel's mountain limestones bathed in light
have been the inspiration of painters and musicians for the ages. Their harmonic balance that allows infinite combinations
like music and people . Elisha's paintings announce the symphony, making curious the appetite for something moving, he
presents us a visual symbol of all wonderful emotions in sound and light. A.Bikic.

Elisha Ben-Yitzhak designs his canvas to exact principles of rhythm, balance and harmony. One could imagine any particular image enlarged to public art size, as mural or bass relief. He is profoundly sincere in his expression of beauty and
emotion, considered in aesthetic principles like the laws of harmonic resonance:
grace of design is achieved.
Elisha proves this dynamic of creativity with ease, how simple is "tears" , even in its monochrome
melancholy the execution of the design still makes us laugh.
W.M.Coulthard.

art exhibits in numerous countries around the world, including the famed
Tate Gallery in London . My paintings appeared in numerous publications and electronic
media. I moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA, in 1985. Leon Harari, an art critic, wrote "Elisha's pictures have a unique and
independent style of their own with so much rhythm. Most of his images combine both figurative and surrealistic elements. The colors in
his paintings have an impact similar to the effect of pastels in the work of great impressionists.
Elisha expresses his feelings, emotions and personal experiences through most astonishing paintings, which are revered around
the world and considered extraordinary."
