A World of Possibilities

By Viviana Puello

Israeli contemporary photographer, Shifra Levyathan's work portrays complex layers of our life experience and current world reality through her symbolic urban photography.

Inspired by the architectural structures she sees in her travels worldwide and fleeting moments of city life, Shifra creates surrealistic otherworldly imagery by blending realistic photography with digital alterations.

Levyathan captures people's diversity and colorful personalities, old and frail buildings, and the grandeur and sophistication of modern architecture. Her underlying message is the impact we have in the world we live in and the possibilities of a better future if we raise our consciousness to take care of our planet and learn to live in peace.

The atmosphere of her photos reflects the mood; the more colorful ones depict happy and lighter moments, while the monochromatic prints depict sad and darker scenes. The computer-aided alterations add a twist to the composition and are an essential element of her unique style. The result is a digital painting that recounts a story. One that has already been told with words but now speaks loud through her photos.

Shifra's brilliant photographic work continues to win over many art enthusiasts worldwide and has earned her numerous awards.
