Levi was born in Tel Aviv, Israel. Her grandparents made all the way to Israel on foot many years ago (1930). They did this magnificent travail for love of a mystical, biblical country. Both were artists — grandfather was a silversmith and grandmother embroidered traditional dresses with silver. All they had dreamed of was to practice their art in the holy land.
Dorit Levi has a unique style all of her own. The flow of color and image, the joy of life and the movement of figures create a wondrous image for the viewer. Music, laughter and birds, Levi's recurring motives, symbolize freedom, an all-important concept for Levi, who says, “A Free Man is a Happy Man.” The flow of color and image, the joy of life and the movement of figures create a wondrous image for the viewer.
Birds almost always hide among the painted figures, enticing one to find further hidden elements and triggering one’s imagination and senses. The birds represent the souls of the protagonists in Levi’s paintings.
Levi likes to use tones of earth, fire and blue her work inspired by everyday reality and based her spiritual and emotional world. Gold leaves, used extensively by Levi, enrich the paintings and give it multi-dimensionality. Upon each and every piece of work, Levi paints a specific set of what she calls “fingerprints” — a metaphorical set of colorful lines created with the same colors used in that particular painting.
Levi's works are displayed in various galleries and collections throughout the world, attesting to her exceptional talent. Her works may be found in Israel, the United States, Canada, France Europe Australia, Singapore, China, Russia and Japan.
