Moshe Kassirer was born in 1967. He lives and paints in the village of Yodfat in Northern Israel. Moshe completed his art studies at the "Tel Aviv - Avni Institute" in 1992, majoring in painting, and is also a 1997 graduate of "Tel Aviv - Camera Obscura" Film School.

In 1995 he won the "America Israel Cultural Foundation" scholarship. Moshe was an art director in the Israeli film and television industry until April 2000 and is personally accredited with many of the exclusive advertisements of that time. For the past five years, Moshe has been working as a graphic designer and art director for Internet web sites for prominent Israeli and international companies. As part of the process of moving from Tel Aviv to the Galilee in August 2003, he decided to dedicate more time to painting and to make his art a way of life.

Moshe Kassirer's art describes the landscape and people of the Galilee with the Olive tree as a dominant theme. Moshe strives to recapture the essence of the simple life of bygone times in Israel's Galilee region.

Living amongst the olive groves of the Galilee is reflected in his paintings and has provided Moshe with a source of renewed inspiration.

Moshe has exhibited his paintings in many group and solo exhibitions and his paintings have been sold to collectors both in Israel and abroad.
