Question: What is Babushka:
Answer: Babushka (Russian: Бабушка, grandmother) is a series of hollow dolls, made of wood, placed inside each other. In Hebrew it is also known as Matryoshka (Матриошка), derived from the name Matriona which was one of the common names at the beginning of the twentieth century. The outer matryoshka is the biggest doll, and inside it is another doll, slightly smaller than it so that you can fit inside the big doll. Inside the smaller matryoshka is a slightly smaller doll, and so on. Each of the dolls, except for the innermost one, is made of two parts: upper and lower. The upper part is rounded and resembles the shape of a head and shoulders, the lower part is flat and allows the doll to stand firmly on the table
Question: Why do you collect dolls in Bushka:
Answer: I like the optimism they embody in the content (that's why I also like to collect naive art by the Israeli painter Rafi Peretz) I surround myself with objects and matryoshka dolls that create a positive, pleasant, happy, smiling atmosphere, I choose brightly colored dolls,
The very act of collecting in Bushkas brings me back to my childhood, to the naive feeling and childish places that exist in me to this day...
The adult world is sometimes cruel, alienating and offensive and collecting dolls leaves me in the naive, innocent, warm, protected, happy, childish world...
Question: What types of babushkas do you collect?
Answer: I collect dolls from all over the world, a large part of my collection are hand-made dolls and they are the most expensive, each series of dolls tells a different story, dolls whose motifs are taken from well-known children's stories such as: Little Red Riding Hood, Gold and the Three Bears, and more
There is a series of dolls with very Russian characteristics, where you can see the Russian embroidery, Russian dresses, motifs of villages in Russia, figures of Russian politicians such as Gorbachev, Stalin, Putin dolls,
There are peoples in Bushkas who see Japanese, African, Indian, Hungarian and more... with the traditional costumes of each and every nation
There are animal shelters such as: panda bears, dogs, lions, cats
A series of pencils that are pens.
or dolls in single, beautiful, colorful bouchekas that stand on their own,
Some of my dolls are particularly huge and visually impressive
Or a huge series of up to 13 dolls from one series
Question: Why do you collect in bushkas?
Answer: I grew up at home with only one sister, but I was always intrigued and enthusiastic about large families with many children, which also have many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren with many activities and great joy,
We are a Holocaust surviving family, a large part of my family perished in the Holocaust, I am single and have no children, a dream that I once wanted to fulfill
Question: What other collections do you have?
Answer: I also collect the customer's miniatures from the animal world and naive elements, the miniatures have a very luxurious look with gold decorations on a deep blue background, or small sculptures coated with colored enamel, luxurious Faberge eggs that open and inside which you can embed jewelry and ornaments. I also have a collection of bells from around the world...
Question: Where do you buy the babushkas, the Faberge eggs and the luxury miniatures:
Answer: I buy from special jewelry stores, from collections and vintage stores, from second-hand sales, from websites, and virtual stores, from auctions and sellers who have special objects... Because I am a collector, my lovers give me birthday gifts related to the theme of my collection..
Question: Are you revealing this impressive collection to the world?
Answer: Rafi Peretz the painter photographed the impressive collection I have and together we revealed it to the audience of babushka and miniature lovers in the world through the advertising we do on the internet and on international art websites.
My beautiful babushkas are modeling in the world....

Raphael perez Hebrew name rafi peretz was born into a traditional family and grew up in Jerusalem.
Family biography Raphael Perez father, Shimon Perez, worked as a receptionist at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. His great love was art, but as a breadwinner, he could not fulfill his dream of becoming an artist. Raphael’s mother, Alice Aliza Perez, worked as an assistant to a kindergarten teacher and later took care of a baby at home. She loved gardening and nature, and together with her husband, created a magnificent garden.
Raphael has several siblings. His elder brother David Perez repented in his mid-twenties and brought many people back to repentance. His sister Hana Peretz raised eight children and worked in the field of education. His brother Avi (Abraham) Peretz studied Philosophy and Judaism in Israel before moving to the United States where he completed his master’s degree in education and became a conservative rabbi. His fourth brother is Asher Peretz, who is very fond of traveling and has been to magical places all over the world. Raphael is the fifth sibling and has a twin brother named Miki (Michael) Peretz, who is a talented industrial designer. The youngest sibling is Shlomit Peretz, who has been involved in the Bezeq telephone company for almost three decades.
Peretz). In the IDF, he served in the Artillery Corps. He worked for 15 years in education in therapeutic settings for children and taught art and movement.
Peretz is a graduate of the Center for Visual Arts in Be'er Sheva, where he studied from 1989-1992. He has been painting since 1989 and since 1999 earns a living only from selling art. Since 1995 he has lived and worked from his studio in Tel Aviv.
Between the ages of 17 and 32, he wrote about forty diaries, sketchbooks and artist books in which he wrote daily and described his thoughts, experiences and feelings and his struggle with his homosexual sexual orientations. He later adorned the diaries with illustrations and drawings. The diaries were presented in a solo exhibition at Camera Obscura and in a group exhibition at the Sommer Gallery.
In his work, starting in 1995, he dealt with relationships, initially with relationships between men and women, in which complex relationships between men and women can be seen. In addition to explicit paintings, he created series of flower paintings, as a metaphor for the relationship between a man and a woman.
At the age of 32 he came out of the closet and began to draw relationships between men. At first, the paintings express hesitation and imperfection, while Peretz does not reveal the faces of the cartoonists. After his first love for a man in 1999 and coming to terms with his sexual orientation, the paintings became peaceful and he presented the homosexual relationship in an ideal way. Peretz has created a series of naive paintings that deal with loving relationships between men and common daily activities in the home environment. Over the years he painted his mates.
