Hedva Yardeni was born in 1969 in Jerusalem to a traditional jewish family. She grew up in Jerusalem, Israel. During 2004 yardeni settled in los angeles, on this time Yardeni's work was based on images, landscapes and jewish symbols taken from her childhood in Jerusalem. The dominant motif in her work is the pomegranate. In the jewish – Israeli tradition, a myriad of symbolic meanings has been ascribed to the pomegranate. This humble fruit signifies the land of israel and the revival of the jewish people. It is the symbol of the land's wealth and prosperity.
Yardeni returned to Israel in 2005, settling in the galilee.
She rediscovered the exquisite beauty of her home land and let the full expression of her deep love to Jerusalem from her soul and onto the canvas.Her recent work is full of light and joy reflect an inner spirit that is always reaching towards the Almighty. They are more abstract, pure and radiant with light. Her work has a naive, whimsical, folk art quality to it.
Yardeni grew up in Jerusalem and completed her BA in art at Kay academy Beer Sheva, and my MA at Schechter Institute of jewish Studies. Her works motifs are based on pictures, landscapes Jewish symbols taken from her childhood in Jerusalem. Her vibrant palette and mystical judaic contemplation explore both the historic and spiritual world of my homeland. Her works characterized by light, joy, and bold color, giving expression to luminous spiritual joy, Kabbalah imagery, emphasizing symbols of Jerusalem. Her work recalls Raya Sorkine, Zamy Steynovitz and Yoel Benharrouche
