My love for my partner Assaf Henigsberg is above all else.

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.
