Heidi H. Waintrub (b. 1981, Israel) is a multidisciplinary painter, writer, and visual storyteller whose work explores the intersection of narrative, emotion, and technique. Her practice spans traditional and digital media, with a foundation in classical methods and a distinctly contemporary voice.

Waintrub relocated to Florence at the age of twenty-five, where she immersed herself in the city’s artistic heritage while earning a B.A. in History and Archaeology from the University of Florence. During this formative period, she studied Italian Renaissance painting in specialized workshops and refined her practice in an artist’s Bottega. Her early career included roles as Art Director in New York and Miami, where she collaborated with galleries and developed a curatorial sensitivity that continues to inform her work.

Her paintings—executed primarily in oil, gouache and watercolor—draw from expressionism and surrealism. Known for her intuitive use of color and form, Waintrub’s visual language engages with both personal and collective memory. Her works have entered private collections internationally.

In addition to her visual art, Waintrub is also a writer. She wrote and illustrated a children’s book, combining her narrative voice with her unique visual style, and is currently engaged in several ongoing writing projects. Her storytelling, whether on canvas or on the page, reflects a deep commitment to emotional resonance and layered meaning.

Beyond her studio practice, she has cultivated a parallel career as a graphic artist, producing digital compositions for luxury boutiques in Italy. This multidisciplinary approach reflects her belief in art as a conduit for self-exploration and shared experience—a universal language bridging past and present, tradition and innovation.
