MUGI – My Unique Gift Idea

The talented sculptor Razia Gershon was born in Israel and has focused her artwork from an early stage, on the human body and its aesthetic possibilities.
In her early career, Razia studied modern ballet under Gertrud Krauss and classical ballet under Mia Arbatova. She graduated from the Wingate Institute and worked as a physical and ballet educator. Also a graduate of the Avni Institute of Art in Tel-Aviv, Razia pursued her studies under Tania Preminger and David Zondelovitz, professors in art academies in Russia. Later, to add a ribbon to her formative years, she attended art history lectures with Professor Marcel Mendelson at Bar Ilan University.

Razia’s bronze sculptures are all presented in figurative classic style, based on and inspired by the human body, its movements and ballet steps. The sculptures are cast in bronze, and despite the hardness and rigidity of the material, the beholder sees and feels the elegant motion, and gentleness expressed in each statue.
Among the highlights of Razia’s prolific work include a bronze garden sculpture series of various animals and sheep, in particular. The comic bronze figures have become the artists’ trademark in Israel. In 2006 she completed a new series of Horse Sculptures including six pieces to her collection.

Notable pieces have been presented to US Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Israeli President Shimon Peres, and most notably the late King Hussein of Jordan
Razia Gershon works at her studio in Ramat Hasharon, Israel where her private bronze collection is on display.
Razia’s statues can be found in private collections in Israel and abroad.
