Rafael Gershon Glückstern Gardos
I was born in Israel 1984. Sometime later, I went to the south of Spain with my family, where I grew up and developed my craft as a painter. Ever since I was a child I was interested in drawing all the things, the landscapes, the people and the animals surrounding me. Trying to catch the expressions and moods based on my personal interpretation.
My parents have been always very supportive and helpful with my passion to become a painter. At an early age of 11, I began painting with oil colors. This became my preferred media for expressing my art. I do experiments so I have also been trying other painting mediums to obtain different results and visual effects. During my time at the university, I tried out another new technique for me which is drawing with ballpoint pen, specially human portraits.
I took up Fine Arts at various universities in Spain such as in Cuenca, Salamanca and Barcelona. Looking out for new ways to express my art, I have been greatly influenced by my surroundings and emotions which able to help me improve my craft.
Some of my works have been selected in Art contests. The first of them is a painting entitled "La Guarderia" (Kindergarten) in the frame of an Art contest of the town of Alicante. I was only 12 years old. It was the first time someone so young had been selected for exposition at this art contest.
