Yuval Shaul

Born 1981 in Jerusalem Israel. Avner is a Sculptor, drawer and painter.

Between 2005- 2013 Avner lived, studied, and created his art in New York City. He got an MFA degree from “The New York Studio School”.

In 2013 Avner returned to live and work in Israel.

Avner shows in New-York and Israel, he teaches and lectures in several institutes. He is the owner of “Atelier Art School” in Tel-Aviv. 

In his work Avner deals mainly with the human form. Human issues, such as the delicate balance between the physical and the spiritual, are the main themes in his work.

Avner works in various materials: clay, papier- mache, bronze and plaster.

Avner’s working process is very open: he begins with a vague notion of what he wants to create. The sculpture is a continuous sketch that in a sudden moment, comes to completion.

Avner’s works do not necessarily represent clear human figures, often they are abstractions or essences of forms: hints of human figures, animals, and landscapes.

Creating art has always been a vehicle for his self-expression. Sculpting is a creative, Emotional, spiritual, and intellectual pursuit for him.
