My name is Yoram Erez. I was born in October 1966, and I have always lived in Israel. I am a technology buff, a vegan, and an avid animal lover. In 2009, I founded the organization PTROA, which works to protect animal rights throughout the world. Art has always been a part of my life. I like to work with watercolors. I think that there is an artist inside everyone, and that art is not the province of the elite, but of anyone who wants and knows how to express it.

The technique presented here is something I began developing back in my teens. It started with attempting to imitate pencil and charcoal sketches by using layers of black and white paper. Later, I tried pieces of paper in shades of grey. I very quickly began experimenting with different materials, until I arrived at the material that my works are currently made of – duplex cardboard, which is easy to paint on one side, and easy to glue on the other side. After I was completely satisfied with the materials and the type of paint, I began trying to challenge myself in the complexity of the work. The record was when I reached 17 layers, but I learned very quickly that the optimal number of layers is 12. Today, after a great deal of experience, I can think about the content of the art and achieve perfection from every aspect.
