Turtle Pillow by Eli Abada

Eli Abada joined the Nina Collective of artists in late 2017. He experimented with printmaking and drawing before focusing on painting with acrylics, his preferred medium. He uses bright, primary colours to create boldly contrasting images of insects, fossils, and animals.

Through his artwork at the Nina, Eli has discovered an interest in animals that he hopes to pursue outside the studio. He has visited the Edmonton Humane Society and is looking forward to volunteering with animals in the future.

In 2018 Eli’s work has been included in many group exhibitions, including Project Ability’s 2018 “30x30” show in Glasgow Scotland. Large scale reproductions of Eli’s paintings can be found in the Edmonton Convention Centre, where they are seen by approximately 500,000 visitors each year.
