Visual artist, Boaz Sides lives and works in Tel Aviv, graduated with honors from the department
of Visual Communication at the Holon Institute of Technology. Sides is mainly active in the alternative Israeli art scene.
He works with many mediums, out of research and curiosity, inspired by music, street art and graffiti, contemporary
illustration and design, the grunge scene, natural environment in which he lives and by expressionism artists such as
Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt.
Sides’ works are like an ongoing illustrated diary that developed with time, mainly deal with personal experiences that
guide him as an artist. The works are therefore variegated, some autobiographical and others depicting communal experiences.
The majority of his works are figurative, done on the streets and in the studio, combination of classic drawings, illustrations
and designs created on a variety of surfaces and mediums.
Sides works with mixed media: pencils, acrylics, spray paints, watercolors, digital tools and more,
In 2014, Sides co-found with Ben and Alon (from Dasilva Boards co.) the ‘Prettimess Collective‘ that gather a group of
talented alternative and independent Israeli artists, today they have big studio and events space they share together in
the south of Tel Aviv.
