ORIT AKTA HILDESHEIM
Orit Akta Hildesheim, (born 1970, Israel) lives and works in Tel Aviv.
The artist Orit Akta Hildesheim is one of the great hyper-realistic painters of our time.
While at first glance her new body of work offers a spectacular aesthetic observation, it also allows a fascinating peek into an internal, almost ritualistic, process of introspection. The technique, in which the painting is constructed of dozens of transparent layers, characterizes the painter's work process, and is poured into every piece, requiring her to enter a hypnotic and meditative, almost Zen like mental state.

Akta Hildesheim's personal connection in dealing with the feeling of detachment and vulnerability perhaps lies in her roots and is intertwined throughout her body of works. Her paintings are studded with transparent and delicate pieces of lace that represent a kind of absence and vulnerability, but also feminine power.
She studied under the artist Meir Nataf, and has shown in solo exhibitions in Israel and internationally, including an exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art after winning the 2011 Haim Shiff Prize for Figurative-Realist Art.
