Talia Lehvi

About Courses

Born in Jerusalem and based in London and Mallorca, artist Talia LeHavi has been working with traditional Japanese ink painting techniques for many years. Exhibiting both in London and internationally, she is known for her crossdisciplinary paintings and prints.

Talia’s aesthetic sensibility is an exploration and reclamation of nature's patterns, prompting a dynamic dialogue between the detailed and the whole, the fleeting and eternal.

Talia has been teaching Japanese ink painting, calligraphy and watercolour at her London and Mallorca studio, as well as various museums, art councils and associations in the UK and worldwide.
