Michael Rozenvain was born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1963. After graduating
from the Kiev National Art School, he was accepted to study at the Academy of
Decorative Art. He emigrated to Israel in 1990 and since then had a number
of one-man shows as well as participating in group exhibitions. At the
same time, he has contributed large murals and decorative elements to public
buildings as well as monumental displays in hotels and libraries. The
Mediterranean street scene, the cafe orchestra, the piano, the Viennese interior
and especially the pale-skinned reclining nude women, fill or submerge the
canvas in a series of what is certainly the contents of the artist's
sub-conscious as well as his conscious memory, for he is reluctant to let them
disappear. Their vitality is unquestionably their foremost feature and
stays in our mind's eye for long after we have left them behind.
