Kobi Levi - Footwear art / 1

Graduated from Bezalel academy of art & design, Jerusalem 2001.Specialize in footwear design and development. Working as a freelance designer.

'' In my artistic footwear design the shoe is my canvas. The trigger to create a new piece comes when an idea, a concept and/or an image comes to mind.

The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is alive with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the shoe-world, and give the footwear an extreme transformation.

The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear. Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made in my studio. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way."
