Born in Moldova, Natan Elkanovich moved to Israel with his family in 1976. He earned his BFA at the Shenkar School of Engineering and Design in Tel-Aviv. Since graduation, he worked as a senior costume designer for the Israeli Motion Picture and Television industry. In 2005 he won the coveted Ophir, the Israeli equivalent of the Oscar award for best costume design. In the My Icons series, he painted portraits of people who deeply influenced his life. By painting them, Natan pays a sincere tribute to them for the work they did. “I paint famous people that had a deep impact on my life and contributed heavily, as my parents and teachers, to my spiritual world and world view. These people were my ‘babysitters’, and by painting them now, I express, without the slightest hint of cynicism, my great appreciation and endless thanks to them for building my inner world.” – Natan Elkanovich
