Alex Levin (born in 1975) is a renowned artist from Kiev, Ukraine. He has exhibited his works in private and public collections worldwide, including in the United States, Israel, France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and Ukraine. Levin's art ranges from surrealism to realism, and he uses a wide array of techniques, including oil painting, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, and tempera. He particularly enjoys the 16th-century multilayer technique, which uses tempera and oil without brush strokes.
After serving three years in the Israeli army, Levin immigrated to Israel and studied industrial design and web design. He was mentored by Professor Baruch Elron, President of the Association of Israeli Artists, for over ten years. Levin's work has been recognized by many influential figures, including actor and producer Richard Gere, Madonna, jazz player Oscar Peterson, and former President of Israel Ezer Weizman.
For over ten years, Alex studied new artistic styles and techniques with Professor Baruch Elron, President of the Association of Israeli Artists.
Alex Levin is currently working on the following themes: "Tradition of Jewish Heritage," "Tel Aviv - The Hill of Spring," "Venice Through the Eyes of a Mask," "Symphony of the Rain," "Roots," and "Colors of Judaism."
"Tradition of Jewish Heritage" is a collection of photos of the Western Wall of Jerusalem and the surrounding religious quarter. Levin photographed the inhabitants of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, the Jewish Attributes, and the people present at the Western Wall. In 2007, Alex received the Knesset medal for his contribution to Jewish art.
"Tel Aviv - The Hill of Spring" is inspired by his favorite season and is dedicated to Tel Aviv - its inhabitants, the architecture of the buildings, the sea, and the beaches. It depicts people facing snow-white buildings, in sunny weather and under a clear sky.
"Venice Through the Eyes of a Mask" takes a completely unique approach and presents the viewer with the most important element of the Venetian carnival: the mask. His first paintings of the "mask collection" were presented in 2002 in Venice and earned Levin a scholarship at the Venice Academy of Art. The program supported the artist's continued development and allowed him to devote much time to creating new works.
"Symphony of the Rain." Each painting was inspired by the music of different composers.
One painting complements another, one composer is replaced by another, the misty morning turns into a rainy evening and a starry sky above the lagoon: a puzzle of forty paintings depicting the dream city on water - VENICE!
"Colors of Judaism" It helps me a lot to present the ancient sacred prayers of the Jews, for a thousand years, I have the most important task - to pour out all this spirit, all the tears shed by the Jews mourning the Temple destroyed. One fine day, I really wanted to represent all the millennia of Jewish history on a canvas. This series is now booming, it will include 50 to 60 paintings, today there are already 20. People perfectly feel the good magical aura and energy that emanate from my drawings, which is insanely pleasant, I do my work with all my heart.
