Suly Bornstein Wolff is a multidisciplinary artist born in Brazil and currently based in Israel. Her body of work spans original oil paintings and mixed media wall sculptures crafted from recycled and found materials. Deeply influenced by her personal journey as an immigrant, Bornstein’s art explores the relationship between nature, culture, and urban transformation.
Her vibrant landscape paintings reflect her emotional connection to both her native Brazil and her adopted home in Israel. Bornstein early focus was on painting the tropical palm trees planted across Tel Aviv—imported species that, like her, were transplanted into new soil. Over time, her practice expanded to include architectural paintings of Tel Aviv’s iconic Bauhaus-style white houses, capturing the intersection of natural beauty and modernist urbanism.
In addition to her oil on canvas works, Bornstein creates compelling sculptural wall pieces and installations using ready-made and discarded materials. By transforming everyday “waste” into refined, high-aesthetic art objects, she challenges traditional hierarchies of value and material. Her sustainable art practice highlights the potential for beauty and significance in overlooked or “low” materials, aligning with contemporary concerns around reuse and environmental awareness.
Her mixed-media and large installation works make a conceptual statement about contemporary urban culture, sustainability, and the tension between permanence and ephemerality. This dual existence—between the aesthetic and the conceptual—defines her practice and positions her as a unique voice in Israeli contemporary art, merging environmental awareness with urban metaphors.
Suly Bornstein Wolff’s artwork has been exhibited widely across Israel, Europe, Asia, and the United States, and continues to attract collectors interested in nature-inspired art, urban landscapes, and eco-friendly mixed media works.
