“Raphael Perez Artist’s Book of Childhood Memories: A Collage of Family and Tradition”

In this unique artist book, Raphael Perez has combined childhood photographs with sketches and acrylic, ink, and marker drawings to create a vivid and personal representation of his family and upbringing. The book is built from a collage of childhood photographs featuring Perez as a child with his siblings and parents. These photographs are pasted onto a sketchbook and extended with drawings in acrylic, ink, and markers that cover the entire page.

The themes of the book revolve around Perez’s family and the activities they did together such as walking, eating, playing in the yard, and playing soccer. The book also features family events and Israeli holidays, as well as landscapes of Israel. Through this combination of personal photographs and imaginative drawings, Perez has created a unique and intimate portrayal of his family and childhood memories.

Perez’s artist book is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the power of family and tradition. It captures the essence of childhood memories and brings them to life in a colorful and imaginative way. The book is a treasure to be cherished for years to come.

Perez’s use of mixed media in this artist book adds depth and texture to the images. The combination of photographs with drawings creates a sense of continuity between the past and present. The use of bright colors and bold lines adds energy and vitality to the images.

This artist book is a celebration of family, tradition, and creativity. It is a unique and personal work that showcases Perez’s artistic talent and his connection to his family and heritage. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art or family history.

Raphael Perez, also known by the Hebrew name Rafi Peretz, was born into a traditional family and raised in Jerusalem. Her father, Shimon Perez, worked as a receptionist at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem, while her mother, Alice Aliza Perez, worked as an assistant at a daycare and later took care of a baby at home. Raphael has several siblings, each pursuing different paths in life, from education to spirituality to travel.

After serving in the Israeli Army Artillery Corps, Raphael dedicated 15 years to education in therapeutic children's settings, teaching art and movement. He graduated from the Visual Arts Center in Be'er Sheva, where he studied from 1989 to 1992. Since 1999, he has made a living from the sale of his artwork and has worked in his studio in Tel Aviv since 1995.

Over the years, Raphael has explored various themes in his art, notably interpersonal relationships. His first work focused on male-female relationships, before he openly accepted his homosexuality at the age of 32. Since then, he has created idealistic paintings depicting same-sex relationships in a domestic environment, depicting scenes from everyday life with tenderness and affection.

In addition to his artistic work, Raphael also kept diaries for many years, documenting his thoughts, experiences and personal struggles. These journals have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, providing deep insight into his personal and artistic journey.
