Nitzan Mintz

Nitzan Mintz is a visual poet based in Tel Aviv. She began working a decade ago in the streets of Tel Aviv, where she would create visual poetry for specific locations in the city. She later continued to create studio pieces as well. The public sphere has a central role in Mintz’s artistic process, as it is her main source of inspiration. As a Tel Aviv native, her personal growth and change has been echoed by the dramatic changes Tel Aviv has undergone in recent years. In her poems, Mintz attempts to verbalize personal and collective emotional struggles. Her poems are later developed into her visual pieces. She mainly uses leftovers from the public sphere, industrial materials, paint, and letter stencils. Her final pieces facilitate a unique connection between text, form, and color, allowing a new experience for the viewer. Mintz has created pieces in the public sphere and has exhibited her work in different art venues and events in many cities in the world such as New York, Miami, Montreal, London, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Berlin, and more.
