About Ilana Raviv

Born 1945. Ilana Raviv is an Israeli painter and artist.

Ilana Raviv-Oppenheim (; born 1945) is a multidisciplinary artist. In both museums, she was the first native Israeli to exhibit.

Besides the Russian museum exhibits, there is a Holocaust-themed painting that has figured for many years in the permanent collection of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC. In this painting Ilana exposes the monstrous aspect of the topic more than she trains a direct view on its consequences. The painting shows the Ten Commandments consumed by flame, with an emphasis on "Thou shalt not murder." The struggle to survive is expressed only in the mixture of colors.

Her painting A Tabernacle of Peace – Homage to Zachariah (acrylic on canvas, 2.12 meters by 10) opened Israel's 40th anniversary celebrations in New York at the world's largest sukkah. Later it was displayed for eight years in the main entrance hall of the Jerusalem International Convention Center.

Private life Raviv is married and the mother of three. In the course of her life she has displayed her creations at many exhibits, including a pro bono exhibit to benefit Seeds Of Peace, which aims to connect Arab and Jewish youth.
