Tova Berlinski (Hebrew: טובה ברלינסקי; 20 April 1915 – 16 January 2022) was a Polish-born Israeli painter who was considered to be a doyenne of the painting community in Jerusalem.

Ten days after their wedding in 1938, they left Poland, for the then Mandatory Palestine to join the pioneers working to establish Israel.

From 1953 to 1957, she studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem; later also in Paris under the care of Andre Lhote and Henri Goetz, where she remained within the circle of abstract expressionism.

In 1963, she won the Jerusalem Prize, and in 2000, she received the Mordechai Ish-Shalom Award for Lifetime Achievement and a significant contribution to the development of art.

Her paintings from the 1960s and 1970s show the influence of the past in Oświęcim, which the artist remembered as a beautiful city and as a memory of the idyllic landscape of her childhood.

Later, the main motif of Berlinski's paintings became dark, often black flowers, often dedicated to parents and siblings murdered in Auschwitz.

[6] In January 2006, for the first time in Poland, her works were presented in an exhibition titled "About love and death" at the Arsenał Municipal Gallery in Poznań.
