Biography[edit]
Meirav Heiman was born in 1972 in Jerusalem and currently lives and works in Tel Aviv. She studied at HaMidrasha School of Art in Ramat Hasharon, and at the photography department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.[1]
Her works deal with different perceptions of reality, intimacy, family and love, using props, exaggerated stylisation, and non-professional randomly selected models.[2]
Israeli curator and art critic Ravit Harari described Heiman's works as “dealing with the human ceremonies and relationships that take place within the home, while striving to expose the inner truth they hide. She attempts to highlight the cracks in the cliché of the decent family, and to expose the gap between what is visible, and what lies underneath.”[3]
Heiman has had solo exhibitions at the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, the Tel Aviv Artists' Studios, and Noga Gallery, and participated in group exhibitions in venues both in Israel and abroad, including the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Petah Tikva Museum of Art and the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, to name a few. She won the first prize at the “Now & After” festival in Moscow (2015) and the “Team-Work” award at the 2015 Stuttgarter Filmwinter Festival, among other distinguished awards and scholarships. Her works are included in the collections of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Haifa Museum of Art, the Petah Tikva Museum of Art, and Haaretz.
