A gift from god -
I am so grateful to receive this heavenly gift from god. The gift of creating
this artwork by hand with no trick photography and no CGI, just good old fashioned
eye for detail and artistic flair.
My artistic skills were honed from early days, having spent many of my childhood days with a Russian painter by the name of Meir Appelboim. I more or less adopted him as a grandfather figure. Meir instilled in my techniques a strong awareness for perspective and detail, without impinging on my openness of mind and spirit. I owe a great deal to him. Thank you Meir.
Today, after a long worldwide journey as an IT businessman, I settled down with my family in a beautiful little village in the middle of a forest in East Sussex. Here I dedicate myself full time to my art.
"...His training by Meir Appelboim, the Russian artist,
in the basic skills of art along with the important talent of perspective
has helped Eli create stunning works of art..."
