With vibrant colors and ecstatic sensuality, Yonatan Levy's canvases offer a world of invented characters communicating by ambiguous gestures and intriguing body language. Levy's figures are entwined in each other, as if fulfilling their existence by each other. This carnival of dialogues exudes the feeling that the characters are having a conversation or are preparing for some kind of narrative. Levy creates an experience that can seem as group eroticism, with an undercurrent of humor and playfulness.

“Throughout my painting process, there is an embedded friction between strictness and unpredictability. This friction serves as a tool for me to explore the boundaries between the concrete and the ambiguous, between the real and the imaginary.
