About the Artist

In Wrapped in Dreams, a solitary figure is seen from behind, enveloped in a richly patterned coat whose vivid turquoise, crimson, and indigo motifs seem to pulse with life. The garment becomes a tapestry of imagination, a protective mantle that carries the dreamlike quality of memory and desire. Against the quiet, sketch-like background of trees and pathways, her bare feet ground the vision in intimacy and fragility.
The interplay between the meticulously detailed coat and the unfinished surroundings suggests a journey between reality and reverie. The viewer is invited to follow her footsteps, entering a space where personal stories and collective dreams are gently interwoven

In Goddess of the Wind, Natan Elkanovich captures a divine moment of motion and freedom. The figure, seen from behind, strides barefoot into an undefined space, her flowing hair and billowing robe alive with wind and energy. Her dress—vividly textured with layered plastic in swirling blues, greens, and magentas—becomes an extension of nature itself: waves, flames, petals in flight.
The background, rendered in delicate contour lines, remains intentionally incomplete. It serves as a silent stage—awaiting animation by the presence of the goddess. Through this stark contrast between monochrome sketch and tactile color, Elkanovich suggests a world still in the making, one that comes alive only through movement, creation, and feminine force.
Executed in his signature Natanism technique—using pastry piping tools to layer plastic with precision and emotion—the work invites us to experience not only a visual scene, but a myth in motion. She is not carried by the wind.
She is the wind.

In parallel with his original line of paintings, Natan creates homages to beloved works by great masters of art, artists who have profoundly shaped his inner world and left a lasting mark on him through their influence on philosophy and popular culture. By painting these homages, Natan expresses his deep respect and gratitude for their impact. In his words: “I paint homages to great masters whose works deeply affected my life and contributed, like my parents and teachers, to my spiritual world and worldview. These people were my ‘babysitters,’ and by painting them now, I express, with no trace of cynicism, my profound appreciation and endless thanks for helping to build my inner world.”
Natan has also drawn inspiration from the work of David Hockney, an artist he greatly admires. What began modestly with a series of pool paintings inspired by the spirit of Hockney’s masterpieces soon evolved, through dedication and creativity, into a full line of accessible works. Each painting is uniquely infused with Natan’s own artistic vision and style.
Over the past year, this series of pool paintings has found remarkable success among his collectors worldwide.

A solitary figure stands bare-chested by the sea, suspended in a moment of quiet thought.
Rendered in sepia monochrome, the scene hums with a muted warmth — as if time itself has softened.
The horizon fades gently, mirroring the introspection within.
This is not silence, but stillness: a tone that resonates beyond sound, echoing through memory and mind.
