BIO

Itamar Yehiel (1984, Jerusalem, Israel) is a contemporary embroidery sculptor based in Berlin, Germany. Renowned for his distinctive three-dimensional embroideries, Yehiel uses thread to explore philosophical and emotional interpretations of organic forms. His work combines silk, cotton, nylon, polyester, and gold, intricately woven into sculptural forms.

Yehiel's artistic exploration is deeply rooted in the tension between realism and illusion, the temporary and the eternal, the contemporary and the traditional, and crisis and hope. Through his art, he engages with profound themes, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of existence.

One of Yehiel's notable works, Hope, draws inspiration from the olive branch, a universal symbol of peace, and the Japanese art of Kintsugi (golden repair), which embraces imperfection, seeing breakage and restoration as integral parts of an object's story.

His work has been exhibited at the Kunstgewerbemuseum and Zeughausmesse in Berlin, GRASSI Museum in Leipzig, Max54 Gallery in Augsburg, and internationally at Threads of Tomorrow (New Orleans), We Got The Power (Miami), Fibremen (Ukraine), and The Sun, BIEN – Biennial of Textile Art (Slovenia).
