Renée Levin

“Simple found objects may seem so ordinary to some but are remarkable to me.” We often rush past the smallest things without a second glance. Renée Levin does the opposite. Her paintings invite us to pause, to notice light, texture and the quiet stories hidden inside everyday objects. Based in Los Angeles, the contemporary artist transforms flowers, shells and found treasures into deeply emotional works that explore memory, time and vulnerability. We caught up with Renée to talk about beauty, stillness, imperfection and why paying attention can change the way we see the world.
