Vania Heymann (Hebrew: וניה הימן; born March 27, 1986) is an Israeli artist and film director. His work includes music videos for artists such as Coldplay, Bob Dylan, CeeLo Green, Asaf Avidan, and Keys N' Krates, videos created during his studies at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design that have received critical acclaim and a TV series composed of two-minute episodes broadcast as part of Eretz Nehederet ("Bekitzur"). Heymann also directs commercials, including spots for Pepsi, American Express and the Grammys.
Vania Heymann was born in Jerusalem to an Orthodox Jewish family. His parents emigrated to Israel from France in the early 70s. Heymann began his studies at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in 2010 in the Visual Communications track. That year Heymann created a video dealing with religious symbols through replacing them with a simple IKEA watering can; this homework assignment was posted to YouTube and has since become viral gaining hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and Vimeo. Many of its viewers saw this video as an atheistic composition manifesting Russell's atheistic teapot. A number of prominent atheist thinkers shared the video online and supported Heymann, including biologist Richard Dawkins and author Sam Harris.
