Lea Avizedek was born in Jerusalem and is descendant of an orthodox family firmly rooted in Israel during five generations. She received her formal art training at several institutions including the notable Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem and the school of drawing in Tel Aviv. Her work primarily centers on the female form and is distinguishable by its bright, heavy-bodied color with light pencil sketches. Her women appear in either a solitary pose of tranquility and reflection or in the social interaction of a group. Her works have been acclaimed at her many exhibitions in worldwide museums and galleries. Such recognition is justified by the vibrancy and skill with which she continues and develops the exploration of her chosen subjects.
