Described as a "multidisciplinary who can convert anything to art, design, documentary or other creative gold" Elyasaf Kowner's art works and ridiculous span of curiosity are an exploration into an authentic stream of thoughts.

Born in Haifa, Israel (1970), his father, Leon Kowner, gave him a biblical name that contained two other names in it. The two people are Leon's father, Ilia Kowner, who was killed in the holocaust and Ilia's older brother, Josef Kowner, who was an artist that survived the second world war.

His graffiti work appeared in the weekly Village Voice (1994) and in the book Stencil Graffiti (Thames & Hudson, 2002). In 1999 he won the Sandberg award for After My Death project at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. In 2002 he won the First Portrait prize, receiving a full year grant from the Israel National Lottery.
