L’ARTE DI DIZLARKA

Biografia

Leah Larisa Bunshaft (Dizlarka) was born in Ukraine, spent her youth in Russia. Later she emigrated to Israel and currently lives and works in Spain. She holds an MA from the Arts and Construction Department in The Novgorod State University.
Trauma received in childhood, changes of countries influenced the choice of themes of the artist. A key theme in Leah’s artworks is the vulnerability of the fragile human being in this insecure world, issues of femininity, women’s life, feminism and self-identity. She is also fascinated by the theme of life cycles and correlation.
Dizlarka is a multidisciplinary artist who works in mixed media. Her artworks have been published and exhibited in the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Israel, Spain, Italy, Greece (including presentations at the MoRA International Museum (USA), Civic Museum of Nepi (Italy) and Agostino Diffused Museum (Italy).
