Bio
Uri Averbuch, born July 5, 1971, in St. Petersburg, Russia.
He drew before he spoke. At the age of five, he immigrated to Israel, yet his drawings were not allowed to leave the former U.S.S.R.
Upon arrival to Israel, the harsh reality of immigrant life coupled with the language barrier caused him to rely on his ability to communicate through images and he began to keep visual diaries of his new world.
At the age of twelve, Uri began his formal studies at the Haifa Museum of Art, where he learned the art of print making: etching, lithography, wood & linoleum cutting & stone printing.
At fifteen he attended a high school dedicated to the arts. There he explored fashion design, plastic arts, sculpture and ceramics.
In November 1989, Uri was recruited into the Israeli army as a paramedic . During the last 6 months of his service he was assigned to paint large murals at different military headquarters throughout the country.
