Yuvi (Yuval Gold) was born in Tel Aviv in the 1970s and grew up in Florentine — a neighbourhood now at the heart of the city's graffiti scene. Surrounded from childhood by street art, music, politics and the cosmopolitan energy of one of the world's most vibrant cities, Yuvi developed an artistic sensibility that has remained restless, layered and deeply alive to popular culture. He studied graphic design, adding a structural rigour to his instinctive expressiveness.

After periods of travel across Europe and living in the United States — where the work of Andy Warhol and the mystery of Banksy deepened his ambitions — Yuvi developed a distinctive mixed-media approach in which characters and settings are built from acrylic paint, printed paper cuttings, layers of old newspaper clippings, silk screen prints, spray paint, sand, glass fragments and more. Superheroes, scientists, movie stars, musicians and animals inhabit his chaotic, joyful compositions with equal irreverence.

Yuvi's bold, lively style has earned him exhibitions and admirers across the UK, USA, Milan, Hong Kong and Dubai. His one-of-a-kind originals are valued by collectors worldwide, and his limited edition prints continue to reach new audiences through galleries internationally.
