"Itamar Cohn was born in 1973 in Amsterdam (Holland). He moved on from there with his family to Amersfoort, which is in the middle of the country where he attended school. My mother had her own modern art gallery in our house for five years.

At the age of 17 I finished school and continued studying at the hotel school in Rotterdam, which wasn't a great success. I held some functions as a salesman which I think is together with my art my main talent. I was in Holland already active as an artist, and on two occasions I lived together with a group of artists in Anti-Squat buildings in the Hague.

After I made Aliya (immigration to Israel), in 1994, I studied Hebrew in the absorption center in Kfar Saba, Israel. After this in 1995 I had to go to the army and served for two years in the airforce. This wasn't a very inspiring time. I got our of the army two months early in order to start my art studies at the Avni Institute in Jaffo.

Right now I am in the third year of my studies there, and am developing myself there as an artist, which you hopefully follow with your own eyes in my virtual art gallery."
