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 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. Personal footnotes : "I try to project women as warm, loving human beings. I don't care if the women I paint look ugly, if their legs are fat or their socks are half off. My work is conceived in tension. When I work it's emotional. My life enters on my art. When I paint, I make love with my paper. Nothing I paint is a lie. Every line or fingerprint has a meaning."
