The artist, Raphael Perez, was born in 1965 and was raised in Jerusalem. He currently resides and works in Tel-Aviv. He is a graduate of the Beer Sheva school of Visual Arts where he studied from 1988 through 1992.

During his youth, Raphael was working with young children from ages 3-7. He taught them how to express themselves through visual arts," It's great to work with kids ! The smaller they are, the freer and more creative… This series shows drawings, books and diaries with the child's dimension that allows feelings out, including feelings of intense pressure from older adult," he said.

On this page, the artworks below show Raphael from the time of his early childhood until his early 20s.
