Renée Levin, a contemporary oil painter, is best known for her highly rendered paintings and modern depictions of organic material and found objects. With a keen eye for detail, her large-scale paintings are created with a minimalist approach to color, allowing the focus to remain on the subject itself. In her pursuit of perfection, Levin skillfully uses bold contrasts in form and subject along with a balance of beauty and imperfection, to create dynamic visual compositions. Through creative introspection, she has woven a dialogue in her works that explores the interconnectedness of opposition, proving differences blend seamlessly to create a synchronized balance. Since becoming a full-time artist in 2019, Levin has developed a signature style that has gained attention worldwide. Her work has been placed in numerous private and corporate collections and has received notable press features in magazines such as Vogue and Veranda.
