Pailes was born in the city of Kiev in the Ukraine, to a family of goldsmiths. In 1910, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Kiev. Pailes arrived at Paris in 1913, where he shared a room with Mane Katz and studied sculpture in the Academy of Fine Arts of Paris. A year later, in 1914, he decided to go back to the Ukraine , but when the Bolshevik revolution broke in Russia he manages to escape and to come back to Paris in 1919 In 1920, Pailes abandons sculpture and starts painting, but only in 1948, Pailes paints his first abstract painting . His abstract paintings are perhaps the most interesting of his work. His maturity as an artist is well shown in these paintings, full with a rich texture and a colorful plate. Also expressing the pleasure he takes out of painting, having such a large number of painting.If we compare it to other member of “ Ecole de Paris”, his language in so individual- from the colors through his texture and to his themes. His work has no similarity to the work of any other painter in his times, he combines many of the artistic movements that was popular in his days- expressionism (shown in the massive texture of his painting), fauvism (the disharmonious colors and the diversity of it), Cubism (he describes figures as analyzed forms) and of- coarse Abstract painting.
