 Michael Gorban (Misha) is one of the gifted artists to have immigrated from the former Soviet Union to Israel in the 1990’s.
Gorban was born in the Soviet Union in 1956. He attended and graduated from the Kishinev Higher School for the Painting Arts in Moldavia in 1976 then continued his studies a the Academy for Painting in Lvov and graduated in 1982 after majoring in graphics. Gorban received a grant in 1988-1990 from the Artists Association of the Soviet Union and by the age of 30 his works were displayed along the likes of Salvador Dali, Kandinsky, Chagall, and others, in the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad
Gorban’s works reflect images between artistic experience of the renaissance period and that of the 19th and 20th centuries. Subjects include chairs, windows, music and more. He is quoted from his studio “Painting is a sensual experience. I will not sign my name until I am completely satisfied.” Concerning the subtle difference between an artist and painter, he adds “An artist can hear what the painting wants; a painter cannot. I never painted under duress or according to order. My success comes from people feeling the same satisfaction that I myself felt upon completing the painting.”
Michael Gorban’s works are now displayed in galleries and museums throughout the Soviet Union, as well as private collections in the United States, Canada, England, Japan, Belgium, France, Germany, Australia and Israel.
