Dorit Levi
(Israeli, b.1952)
Atmosphere
Dorit Levi has a special and unique style all her own. Throughout her paintings, the flow of color and line expresses the joy of life, and the movement of figures creates a wondrous image for the viewer. Although each work has the clear mark of Dorit, in her works one can see the influences of Bolivian artist Graciela Boulanger, as well as Cubism artists such as Picasso, Leger, and Braque.
Dorit was born in 1952 in Tel Aviv, Israel, and the culture and tradition of her home can be seen in her work. Her extraordinary talent brought her to study at the prestigious WIZO Haifa Academy of Art and Design, also located in Tel Aviv. There she was a dedicated student of one of Israel's greatest artist, Edwin Salomon.
Dorit also brings to each artistic creation her experiences living in Africa and in Uganda. Africa, with its vast, warm savannas, can be felt in her use of warm, bright colors. Uganda's colorful markets and people in embroidered garb, imbue her images and background compositions with an enchanted feeling.
Dorit's works are remarkable in the use of gold leaf, and the enormous attention to detail and complex composition. New aspects and configurations are discovered with each viewing of her work.
The works of Dorit Levi are on display in various galleries and collections throughout the world, attesting to her exceptional talent.
