Katrin Tolkovsky was born in Jerusalem and lives and works in Tel Aviv. She holds a BFA and MFA from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. To date, she has held one solo exhibition and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Israel and abroad. Her works are included in both public and private collections.
Over the years, Tolkovsky has developed a distinctive technique based on the classical method of sgraffito. Through processes of scratching, carving, and revealing layered paint and plaster, she creates images in which the surface itself becomes a carrier of memory. Her painting practice simultaneously embodies construction and erosion, revelation and concealment, opening a window into the movements of time, memory, and unfolding history.
