ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Dorit Levinstein

Where sculpture meets symphony: Levinstein’s figures dance in three dimensions.

Dorit Levinstein (born 1956 in Haifa, Israel) is an internationally acclaimed sculptor and painter best known for her vibrant, flowing bronze sculptures that blend painting with three-dimensional form. Her signature style incorporates elements of Chinese philosophy, emphasizing movement and harmony with the environment, and is marked by fluid, colorful lines that create expressive, intuitive figures without preliminary sketches.

Levinstein holds a degree in graphic design from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and later studied painting and sculpture at the Avni Institute of Art and Design, where she also taught from 1985 to 1988. Her artistic evolution began in the late 1980s when she transitioned from traditional materials to painted wood and aluminum, eventually developing her unique bronze sculpture technique.

Her work has been exhibited globally, including at The Royal Academy in London, and is featured in prominent galleries and private collections across cities such as New York, Paris, Berlin, Tel Aviv, Singapore, and Istanbul. She has also created large-scale public and private commissions for notable venues like the Hotel Majestic Barrière and The Plaza Athénée.

Influenced by artists such as Cézanne, Gaudí, Klimt, Niki de Saint Phalle, and American Pop artists, Levinstein’s work is divided into three stylistic periods: her early Classical Bronze Period, a Stone and Mixed Media phase, and her current 'Colorful Linear Figures' period. Her sculptures are celebrated for their joyful color palettes, elegant lines, and choreographed, almost dance-like forms.
