“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” – Pablo Picasso

When Elisabeth Anisimow moves her little fingers on a blank canvas, it is almost impossible to predict which masterpiece will take birth on the canvas. The art prodigy, also known as Lisa, is a young artist who sees the world through a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and fantasy. According to Lisa’s website, looking at her work is like you enter a dream through a child’s lens with the sophistication and maturity of an adult.

Early Life | Elisabeth Anisimow

Elisabeth Anisimow was born to Russian parents in Los Angeles. She showed an interest in art at a very young age. She started painting when she was two and gained prominence for her watercolor paintings at age seven. When she was a toddler, her mother used to take Elisabeth and her older brother to the magnificent St. Petersburg museums, where Elisabeth spent a long time gazing at the art.

Elisabeth’s Signature Style

At the age of nine, Anisimow got inspiration from the works of Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet. Her signature style is to integrate painting on live models into a painted environment that she creates. Lisa has made her most significant piece of this kind in 2019 when she was got an invitation from Hong Kong to make a large living art installation titled Christmas Muse Garden. This work took more than eight months to prepare. After the Hong Kong project launch, the artist also held a series of live painting sessions in the K11 Musea space.

The child prodigy particularly likes to paint her face. “It is a bit like trying on a new identity or showing the inner me, which I do not normally expose. A new face kind of lets me do whatever I like without getting recognition,” she says.

Lisa’s Future Goals

Elisabeth never got the chance to receive classical art training as she is a self-taught artist. She says that she would like to study in a contemporary art school in Berlin or Japan. “I love painting because I can express myself easily,” she said.
