short biography
Elizaveta Berezovskaya was born on April 7, 1971 in Moscow. Her father is a famous businessman and businessman Boris Berezovsky, her mother is Nina Korotkova. According to Elizabeth herself, her father was "one of the greatest people of our time."
She graduated from the Lisa Department of Arts at Cambridge University. After graduation, she returned to Moscow. Lisa’s social circle is represented by modern and fashionable artists of that time, avant-garde artists. I met with the artist Sergei Anufriev, as well as with the famous musician of the ship group Ilya Voznesensky. Being with Ilya in a civil marriage, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, Savva. As close friends and acquaintances noted, her lifestyle resembled "an endless series of rave parties and designer performances."
The girl always denied that Boris Berezovsky financed her parties. But the father still had to help his daughter. Once, with Ilya, Elizabeth made a scandal in the St. Petersburg club "Griboedov." The police who arrived at the scene later ascertained the fact of the seizure of the drug - cocaine from Lisa. However, Elizabeth Berezovskaya herself claimed that they threw the white powder to her to discredit her father. Be that as it may, this incident played a role in her life and influenced her future career. The girl was arrested and placed in a pre-trial detention center. Her father tried to release on bail and moved her daughter abroad. Soon after the birth of the eldest son, Berezovskaya Elizaveta Borisovna married Anatoly Podkopov. In the marriage two children were born - Arseny and Plato. For a long time the family lived in London, but in 2003 returned to their homeland. The husband of Elizabeth has repeatedly contributed to the creative plans of the wife. Also this time, Anatoly, the son of the famous runner Peter Bolotnikov, funded a group exhibition in Art Moscow.
Personal exhibitions
Her debut as an artist took place in 1998, in the L-Gallery of the city of Moscow, later the exhibition "Travel" was organized in St. Petersburg - at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1999, Russia saw the second part of the exhibition "Travel". Both of them were very successful with art lovers. The curator of the exhibition, Maria Katkova, believes that the artist Berezovskaya has great potential. Further work of Lisa also provides a lot of opportunities for interpretation.
Success at Aidan Gallery
In 2001, the artist presents the “Chronicle” conceptual installation in the “Aidan” gallery in Moscow. The basis was the idea of the life cycle of all living things. Birth, flowering, wilting and death in the end - that is what the exhibition told about.
A huge loom weaved someone's life from a huge canvas. Roses on the tapestry are first represented by tender unopened buds, then the flowers open, revealing bright scarlet petals to the world, and then wither, leaving behind only dried leaves, withered stems.
The conceptual idea of good and evil
The 2005 exhibition, with the capacious title of "Good and Evil," made a great impression on the public. And this is not surprising, because what he saw turned out to be beyond good and evil. The artist expressed a deep, endless and immense theme with the same deep, but at the same time laconic installation. In the center of a large room, completely covered with snow-white fabric and illuminated by fluorescent lamps, there is a huge mirror in the form of lips. In the reflection you can see the glowing red lips set under the ceiling. The word “Fear” is on the wall.
The incredible idea of combining good and evil. Heaven and earth merge together in a kiss, and fear, always present, enables a person to clearly define the line between good and evil. It is this feeling of fear that gives us the opportunity to realize the moment when good ends and evil comes.
"Queen Bell"
In 2010, Elizabeth Berezovskaya creates a new installation masterpiece - “Tsaritsa Kolokolchik”. A huge, immense bell flower is installed in the central part of the hall of the Central House of Artists in Moscow. The eight-meter tapering bell corridor absorbs a person, erases the scale and completely changes the usual attitude. Here the boundaries between the external and internal world are erased, the usual meaning collapses; the thickening darkness puts powerful pressure on the visitor, forcing him to awaken. The object creates an integrated image of the mother’s bosom, or a black hole, or a bell of a gramophone, or ... Again, there is an unlimited possibility of interpretation, and for each visitor it is different.
Incredible depth of thought
As you move deeper into the flower, bewilderment grows. But at the end of a narrow corridor, as a reward for working on yourself and on your views, the viewer hears the gentle ringing of a bell. Or is it just an illusion, an auditory hallucination ... The listener is given the opportunity to draw his own conclusions about the ringing in the womb of Queen Tsaritsa Bell. It is not only a gift, it is a voice within you, the voice of God. In total darkness, the visitor directs his attention inside himself, to his inner world, and awakened from sleep. It actually begins to seem that the sound of the bell comes from within you.
This compressive and multi-valued artifact shifts and rebuilds perceptions, raising consciousness to a new level - to revelation with oneself and higher powers.
