Stav Yosha

Stav grew up in Jerusalem. He studied art and archaeology in Tel-Aviv and received his MFA from Tylor School of Art in Philadelphia, USA . After his MFA Stav moved back to Tel-Aviv, where he practiced his art and taught painting, drawing and sculpture at Shenkar College and Minshar college. 

Stav's art deals with the connection between spirituality, religion and art. He researches the archetypal, the archaeological and the prehistoric art. Through sculpture and painting Stav examines the ability to emphasize and bring back ancient foundations into today's world. Through research and experience of ancient texts, techniques and places he tries to understand, how will our present look as the past? How will we look as archaeology, as ancient to the far future?

These days Stav lives in Barcelona creating art about archaeological and historical connections he finds between Spain and the Middle-East.
