Roman Gulman

Roman Gulman was born in Kyiv, where he studied art, and later moved to Israel, graduating from the “Askola” Higher School of Design. After many years working in graphic design, advertising, and branding, he returned to his first love — painting.

His works carry the influence of the French Impressionists and the Russian school: a vivid palette, expressive brushwork, and a deep attention to light and color. Yet above all, his art is centered on the human being.

Gulman paints the same face again and again, leaving visible traces of previous layers on the canvas. This process creates portraits filled with depth, complexity, and multilayered emotional structures. They are not a critique of reality nor an invention of a new one, but rather an exploration of human nature.

His figures are at once open and enigmatic, inviting the viewer into a dialogue and leading them on a journey through emotions and imagery.

Roman Gulman’s works are held in private collections worldwide, as well as in the collection of the Ilana Goor Museum in Jaffa Tel Aviv, Israel.
