Biography
Eduard Grossman was Born in November 2, 1946 Komi Republic, Soviet Union. Grossman’s passion for painting began when he was only 3 years old. I started painting early. I was three years old when I got sick from scarlet fever. My brother and a friend brought me pencils and sketchbook, and I, lying in bed, began to draw. It was interesting! Since then, I have even kept the habit of drawing Lying down". In 1964 at the age of 17 Eduard was enlisted for military service in the ranks of the Soviet army at the city of Sakhalin, where Grossman met his future wife Galina Grossman (Ryzhikh).

“At that time, at exhibitions I showed paintings on a Jewish theme Kadesh (biblical), Place and other works. Oddly enough In Israel I hardly write about it. And then apparently some kind of internal feeling pushed to Judaica maybe because childhood has passed in the Jewish quarter and maybe because at that time in the first half of the 80s almost all of my friends were Jews".
