David (Dudu) Gerstein is an Israeli artist whose wide variety of works express movement, color, sound, and emotions all while capturing unique moments in time. Born in Jerusalem in 1944 to immigrant parents along with his identical twin Yoni, Gerstein was part of a generation of hope, freedom, and renewal. Although of modest means Gerstein grew up around crafts as his father, and father before him were leather makers. Still, many decades later Gerstein accredits his interest and curiosity of cutting up shapes and figures in wood and metal to his times as a child when he would help out his father cutting leather.At the age of four, Israel was declared a state, and the Gerstein family moved to Ramat Gan on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Throughout his adolescence, David Gerstein, or as he became known as Dudu, continued to work with his dad while immersing himself in other forms of art; painting streetscapes, landscapes, and people. Together the twin brothers grew to appreciate and inspire one another artistically and this mutual growth was a strong driving force behind Gerstein's early artistic endeavors.
