Esther Perez
Forty-eight years at the easel — painting the Rebbe, the Rebbetzin, and the great tzaddikim with the patience and reverence each subject deserves.
Esther Perez has spent more than forty-eight years in the art field, with a focus on oil painting — and she works as readily in watercolor, charcoal, murals, and three-dimensional art. For more than thirty years she has dedicated herself to rendering the faces of Rebbes, Rebbetzins, Rabbis, and the great tzaddikim with the patience and reverence each subject deserves.
She has also painted presidents, prime ministers, people of every age, groups, cities, synagogues, landscapes, wildlife, and images for books. Her hand-painted work, made in a quiet studio, is reproduced as museum-quality giclée on canvas — and today it hangs in homes, schools, synagogues, and institutions across the United States, France, Portugal, and Israel.
She paints because the walls of Jewish homes, schools, and synagogues are more than wood and plaster — they preserve memory.
Her purpose is simple: to make each subject worthy of the room it inhabits. Esther welcomes inquiries for personal collections, school halls, and synagogue projects — and for institutional orders she will speak with you directly about size, framing, and the right painting for the space.
A self-portrait in oil
The same brush that has rendered the tzaddikim turned, once, on the artist herself — the likeness she keeps closest to the work.
