Raoul Raymond was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1948 and he immigrated to Israel two years later.

In Israel, Mr. Raymond grew fond of the artist's palette, and at an early age, was guided by Israeli artist Ton Bernhard.

Mr. Raymond studied at the Lyceum og Graphis in Tel Aviv, and in 1965 continued his studies at the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris.

He returned to Israel in 1967 and entered the military service, taking part in the Six Day War.

Raoul Raymond has taken part in many group shows, both in Israel and abroad, notably in Europe. He paints in an impressionistic style, capturing characteristic Israeli scenes in his warm, vibrant colors.
