“Although I am perceived as a religious person, the truth is that I am still searching. I long to believe in God but have not yet found my way there. Right now, I experience a lack of faith with many questions but a desire to believe. Art becomes the space for exploring these questions, a way to search for whether spirituality exists in the physical world. Sometimes, this search is interrupted by war or a trauma, which draw me to painful realities that find expression in figurative and realistic work. These two directions may seem contradictory, but together they make up who I am.”
Levi held a solo exhibition at Tapuz Gallery (2022) and has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including at the Israel Museum (2025), the New Teddy Gallery (2025), Mini Nachlaot Gallery (2024), the Magav Museum (2024), the Biennale Gallery (2024), Tiroche Auction House (2024), the Hiriya Educational Center Gallery (2024), HaMifal Gallery (2022, Residency–2024), Fresh Paint Art Fair’s Independent Artists Greenhouse (2023), Geula Gallery (2023), the Jerusalem Biennale (2021), Midrasha Gallery (2019), and the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court (2019).
