Vaisberg’s art speaks to the present while drawing on iconic images from art history. In 2014, he created the series Wall — a “painting of direct action” — which reflects the events of the Revolution of Dignity, in which he himself participated. From the first days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Vaisberg returned to artistic practice, posting new works daily on social media as part of the series Road Diary — notes documenting the experience of forced displacement, temporary housing, and the way itself.
The artist has no prejudice regarding materials or techniques: he freely draws with pencils, markers, and pastels — technique becomes his language. Throughout his career, he often turns to biblical themes.
He has illustrated books by Sholom Aleichem, Eduard Bagritsky, Isaac Babel, Hryhir Kanovych, José Ortega y Gasset, Carl Gustav Jung, Søren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Joseph Roth.
In 2014, the Magnes Museum (Berkeley, California) acquired twelve of Vaisberg’s works, including portraits of notable Jewish poets and writers.
His works are held in the National Museum Kyiv Art Gallery, the Zaporizhzhia Regional Art Museum, the Gaon Jewish Museum (Vilnius, Lithuania), and in private collections in the USA, Israel, Greece, the UK, Sweden, South Africa, Austria, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Canada, Japan, Turkey, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, France, Germany, and others. He lives and works in Kyiv.
