Elena Chermeshionik - Proximity, 2020. Oil on canvas mounted on wood, framed 27/32 cm Signed Elena Chermashionik is an Israeli artist and tattooist with an academic background in art; formerly recognized as one of Israel’s prominent tattoo artists, she now lives and works in Canada. Chermashionik’s paintings reveal an affinity for the European figurative tradition, alongside a personal style characterized by free brushstrokes, a restrained color palette, and image construction that oscillates between precision and blurriness. Her figures appear as emerging memories—quiet, contemplative, and somewhat distant—while light and color dictate the atmosphere more than the narrative itself.
