Rozi Vitebsky

Rozi Vitebsky is an architect and visual artist based in Haifa, following several years of living and working in Tel Aviv. Trained in architecture and urban planning, she works on complex planning and urban renewal projects alongside an active and ongoing painting practice. Her architectural background is clearly embedded in her work: grid-based compositions, repetitive tile patterns, checkerboard floors, and urban window frames create structured settings in which emotional narratives unfold. The recurring motif of the vase functions at times as a body or a charged vessel, almost anthropomorphic, positioned against bold decorative backdrops that heighten the tension between depth and flatness. Alongside structural precision and spatial awareness, her paintings reveal an intimate psychological layer: female figures in domestic interiors, direct gazes, and moments of vulnerability or inwardness. She lives with two cats, whose quiet presence subtly echoes in the domestic atmosphere of her work. For Rozi, painting is a space where identity, memory, and presence can be deconstructed and reassembled. Her works are presented on digital platforms and held in private collections.
