Elad Eisenstein’s abstract paintings challenge instinctive perceptions of boundaries, showing them not as limitations but as frameworks for freedom. Boundaries, in his work, create interconnectedness and relationships, transforming rigid forms into spaces of possibility.
Drawing from his background in architecture and urbanism, Eisenstein reinterprets urban structures through geometric forms, layered compositions, and a restrained palette. Echoing Ad Reinhardt’s minimalist rigor, his works reveal how boundaries - by defining edges - open up connections and invite contemplation. Each piece invites viewers to see the city - and themselves - not as confined by structure, but shaped and liberated through it.
I make abstract art inspired by cities, adding a personal touch of my own reflections and experiences. I am trained as an architect and an urbanist and have always been fascinated by the complexity of the ‘big city’, with particular interest in questions of identity, belonging and change. These are key concepts I explore through my art. My work draws inspiration from across the multidisciplinary world of city shaping practices - from graphic design to planning, from photography to engineering. I like my art to be expressive and intuitive, working with a limited palette, using geometry, composition and layering to create an impactful, yet simple image of real-life complex urban situations.
