Hi, I’m Tovi Ben Herzel
an artist, illustrator, and lecturer in graphic design and media design.
Art and creativity have always been an inseparable part of who I am.
Ever since I can remember, I've been drawing and illustrating, and my passion for creating has only grown stronger over the years. I live in a moshav (a rural village), where the surrounding nature serves as a central source of inspiration for my work.
Throughout my career, I worked for 15 years as Head of the Graphics and Infographics Desk at Yedioth Ahronoth, one of Israel’s leading newspapers. Later, I founded the Department of Visual Communication and Media Design at Ruppin Technological College. Currently, I run my own design studio, where I create projects in the field of visual design.
My work includes original paintings and high-quality prints, all created with love and meticulous attention to detail.
For some of my pieces, I document the entire painting process and add a QR code that allows viewers to watch the journey from blank page to finished artwork. In some videos, I also incorporate a short animation using artificial intelligence, bringing the painting to life.
Special thanks to Yaron Naor, who taught me the secrets of watercolor painting; to Amir Nir, who conveyed important painting principles to me via Zoom; and to Shlomo Waldman, who kindly allowed me to use his photographs as references.
I'm always happy to answer questions, hear your ideas, or accommodate special requests.
Thank you
