Perez is an Israeli artist who creates artist books that explore the influence of children’s paintings on his own art. These books are collections of drawings, paintings, collages, and writings that show his creative process and inspiration. He uses these books to express his spontaneity as a grown-up artist, his wish to go back to being innocent like children, and his connection to his inner child.

In these artist books, Perez is inspired by the artworks of children, especially his own drawings from childhood. He loves the freedom, imagination, and joy that children show in their art. He tries to copy their style and method by using simple lines, shapes, and colors. He also adds elements from children’s art such as animals, flowers, stars, suns, houses, and people. He combines these elements with his own personal symbols and themes, such as urban landscapes, religious icons, and abstract forms.

Perez’s artist books are not just a visual expression of his artistic journey, but also a philosophical and psychological investigation of his identity and emotions. He uses these books as a way of talking with himself and others. He writes about his thoughts, feelings, experiences, and dreams. He also writes about his artistic influences, challenges, and goals. He wonders about his role as an artist and a human being. He thinks about his spirituality and culture. He shares his hopes, fears, joys, and sorrows.

Perez’s artist books are a proof of his artistic development and experimentation. They show how he has found his own unique style and voice by mixing elements from different sources and genres. They also show how he has used art as a tool for self-discovery and self-expression. They reveal his inner world and invite the viewer to join him.

Perez’s artist books are an example of how an adult artist can learn from children’s art

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.
