Yuval Robichek’s minimalistic illustrations might appear simple at first glance, but delving deeper reveals their profound impact. With over two decades of experience, his artistic journey speaks for itself, and his imaginative mind continually fuels his talent and creativity.
“I’ve had a fascination with art and creativity since childhood, but it was the world of illustration that truly ignited my passion. Influenced by the works of artists like Saul Steinberg, Tomi Ungerer, and Patrick McDonnell, I’ve found my style and inspiration,” the artist shared in an interview with DeMilked. “Illustrations have a unique power to narrate stories and convey emotions in ways words alone cannot. I also appreciate the versatility of this medium, from its use in books and magazines to murals and fashion. Overall, illustration allows me to express my creativity and offer my distinctive perspective on the world.”
Take a look at some of his remarkable illustrations showcased in the gallery below.

In discussing his approach and methods, Yuval explains, “My creative process usually kicks off with an idea or concept I aim to express in an illustration. I follow this by outlining the composition and honing it, experimenting with color and texture until I achieve my desired outcome. I often find inspiration in the subtle moments that reveal profound human connections, as well as in the tapestry of everyday life and relationships.”
The artwork above depicts an intriguing scene. Inside, six men are diligently running on treadmills, while outside the window, a couple shares an affectionate kiss on a bench. This image provokes contemplation on various levels.
The contrast is striking. The men on the treadmills seem trapped in a repetitive and aimless routine, symbolizing the monotony many experiences in life. They appear to be striving without a clear destination or purpose.
The couple outside the window engages in a moment of genuine connection and affection. Their kiss represents love and human bonding, a stark contrast to the mechanical activity inside. This suggests that true fulfillment often comes from meaningful human connections rather than relentless pursuit of external goals.
