David Cohen was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1951, the son of an artist. He immigrated
to Israel at the age of 9, and was brought up in Jerusalem. He studied Art in the Bezalel
School of Art in Jerusalem, Israel and in the Sir John Cass School of Art in London,
England.
He specializes in figurative landscape and cityscape paintings. Through his paintings, he
transmits his personal feelings towards the places and times throughout his life.
From his early childhood in Morocco: and after a recent visit to Morocco, he was inspired
by the exotic landscapes and interesting faces of this wonderful country, and painted a
selection of works from his travels.
From the country and city in which he grew up: Israel and particularly Jerusalem: the
enchanting and quaint corners, old streets and narrow alleyways of this golden city; the
secular and non-secular people, the modern and ancient buildings with the unique Jerusalem
stone.
