Raphael Perez was born in 1965 and raised in Jerusalem. He currently resides and works in Tel-Aviv. He is a graduate of the Jerusalem school of Visual Arts (1988-1992).Perez`s creations deal with the subject of homosexuality. He puts a strong emphasis on single-sex families, pride parades, soldiers, male birth giving, portraits, and male nudity, as well as male, female and heterosexual couples. His paintings put to test the boundaries between eroticism and art, while characterizing gay relationships and love as they are expressed in everyday life.
Two primary styles dominate the Raphael Perez paintings:Naïve Style which has been influenced by his experience of working with children and the Realistic Style, in which red is the dominant color.
Tel Aviv is featured in several Raphael Perez's paintings, especially those in the Naive Style. We chose this photo of one of his works featuring the promenade along Tel Aviv's coast line.
