Born in 1954 in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, Yael Erlichman finds great aesthetic value
in the most common human form. Making use of extraordinary technical skills and an eye for
vivid and expressive details, she imbues her inanimate bronze figures with deep emotion,
humor and energy which serve as a tribute to human nature and human optimism.
She succeeds in combining a profound awareness of the classical tradition of expressive,
figurative sculpture with a subtle, playful approach. Yael studied at 2 colleges of art
over the years and has apprenticed with renowned sculptors.
She works at a foundry in the Jerusalem hills and is involved in every single stage of
the bronze production. Her art has been purchased by corporate and private collections
worldwide and she is represented by several galleries in the USA, Canada and Europe.
Yael’s sculptures are a tribute to the joy of creation.
Yael Erlichman was invited to participate in the 2009 Florence Biennale International
Contemporary Art Exhibition where she won the President Award named after Lorenzo il
Magnifico.
Winner of the President Award at the Florence Biennale 2009.
