They are formed as cubes into meaningful units, allowing to combine vivid childhood impressions of the events of his life. Michael Yahilevich was born in 1956 in Moscow. Drawing started at 6 years in the workshop of his grandfather - the artist Meir Axelrod (1902-1970). Axelrod gave his grandson a complete creative freedom - at large sheets of gray paper in gouache child portrayed his world - a fabulous and a real city, the seasons, people and animals ... Since 1970 Yahilevich began to learn - first in art school, then at the Institute. Having a specialty theater artist, has designed over 60 performances in twenty cities with thirty directors.

He discovers that the link with the past is not broken, that I want to once again feel like a child. It seemed that a child has already been said about the future of life - a passion for travel over emigration, love of the sea - life in the coastal country, playing in the war - involving the painting of protective walls of Jerusalem. We had a look at children's work, to make them a certain way and finish them (forty years) the new part. Thus arose the diptychs, triptychs and polyptych series "40 years later: Alia, Battleship, Lake, City ...". Preserving innocence of children's creativity, the artist depicted his life. His pictorial language is vivid and inventive. As with any autobiography, the author can not get rid of yourself - today. Yahilevich specifically uses a different technique for fragments written now - in contrast to children, they are oil-painted with colored bedding, bedding symbolizing life conflicts. In this case, each of these composite tracks looks solid product, accurately and eloquently put together. The works in this series has successfully exhibited in Jerusalem at the exhibition "Lost and Found" (with Haim Sokol, Julia Segal and Adina Rose). Russian audiences for the first time have the opportunity to see a series of "40 Years Later" in the Gallery "Sovkom" from April 15 to May 5, 2010.
