Raphael Perez is an Israeli artist who is known for his naive paintings of urban landscapes, especially Tel Aviv.

What is naive art?
Naive art is a term that describes the art of self-taught artists who do not follow the rules and conventions of academic or professional art. Naive artists often have no formal training or education in art, and they create their works intuitively and spontaneously, without regard for perspective, proportion, or realism. Naive art is characterized by a charming use of bright colors, flat forms, decorative patterns, and a child-like point of view. Naive art is also influenced by the personal experiences, emotions, imagination, and culture of the artists.
Naive art is not a unified movement or style, but rather a diverse and global phenomenon that has emerged in different times and places. Some of the most famous naive artists are Henri Rousseau from France, Grandma Moses from the USA, Ivan Generalic from Croatia, Alfred Wallis from England, and Nahum Gutman from Israel.

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.
