Yelena Beliaev

I was born in Volgograd, USSR, has lived and worked in Israel since 2000.

I am a self-taught textile and mixed media artist working in needle felting technique. I work with themes of memory, identity, traditions, and cultural codes in different craft techniques.

Since 2022 I have created over 100 pieces which have been arranged in diverse assemblages and installations and has been published in different art magazines, taken part in group and solo exhibitions in Europe, the USA, Japan, and Israel, and also has been exhibited on online international platforms. My works are included in private collections across Israel, Australia, Canada, Russia, The USA and in the collection of the WTA organization (USA).

This year I have been commissioned by the Design Museum in Holon, Isreal, to create a 3D object for the Circle exhibition. My work will also be featured in an exhibition celebrating the opening of the UM2082 residence in Cadiz, Spain.
