Doron Akiva‭ (‬b‭. ‬1986‭) ‬is a figurative painter working in oil‭.‬ 

He was born‭, ‬lives‭, ‬and creates in Tel Aviv‭.‬

 

His paintings explore emotionally charged moments and move between themes of the human psyche‭, ‬desire‭, ‬and romance‭.‬ Doron focuses on form‭, ‬atmosphere‭, ‬and symbolism‭, ‬drawing inspiration from classical art‭.‬

 

His works are characterized by a minimalist palette‭, ‬precise tonality‭, ‬and a technique that blends soft stains

with rich textures‭.‬

 

His art stems from a deep connection to emotion and to the spiritual dimension of human experience‭.‬

There is quiet‭, ‬harmony‭, ‬and mystery in his paintings‭. ‬Doron creates an atmosphere that invites the viewer

to slow down‭, ‬observe‭, ‬and discover not only the story within the painting‭, ‬but also something new about themselves‭.‬

 

A recurring theme in his work is masks a symbol of human complexity‭.‬

Doron believes that each of us contains several faces‭, ‬voices‭, ‬and identities that coexist within‭.‬

 

Another recurring element in his paintings is the Datura flower a plant rich in history and meaning‭, ‬once used

in spiritual rituals to seek enlightenment and self discovery‭.‬

Beyond its distinctive form‭, ‬for Doron it symbolizes the inner journey a person undergoes to truly know themselves‭.‬

 

What distinguishes Akiva as an artist is his ability to connect emotion‭, ‬spiritual depth‭, ‬and visual harmony‭, ‬creating paintings‭ ‬that open a door to a quiet‭, ‬contemplative‭, ‬and though provoking space‭.‬

 

His works are held in private collections in Israel and abroad‭.‬
