Rika Schwimer
  • Biography

    A holocaust survivor and then a member of the art community of Tzfat, a town high in the mountains of north Israel, Rika Schwimmer, unlike many of the artists did not focus on tragedy, but was one of the artists "sought to infuse their art with light and joy."

    She, in 2017, was described as "one of Israel's foremost water-colourists" (Schonbert) who exhibited at museums in Poland, France, and Israel. Her works are a blend of impressionism, colour and lyric symbolism.

    Her name is also spelled Schwimer.
