Moshe Monzon, born in Jerusalem , Israel in January 1958. Married to Goldie Litmanowicz , father of Adi Rivka (1993).
Graduate of the Shenkar College Of Fashion, Artistic Textile Design and Technology (1982), receiving the Degree Bachelor Of Design (B.A Textiles). Moshe's tapestries, and his works have been displayed all over the world.
Moshe Monzon , Israeli, sixth generation from his father side, and from his mother side, Moshe is the 9th generation of Rabbi CHAIM TIRER from Tzernovitz, known as BE'ER MAYIM CHAYIM, who wrote Kaballistic books with Rabbi Joseph Caro, he is buried in a cave in the Old Cementery of Safed.
Moshe has been carrying on his family's Jewish artistic tradition in a new and original way. Designing and weaving artistic tapestries in his own unique technique.
The story begins 500 hundred years ago in the City of Monzon, Spain. The family is expelled from Spain by the Inquisition. The family flees, meanders through Europe and finds it's way to Russia where, for generations they live.
In 1830, the great-great grandfather Abraham Leib Monzon leaves Russia, traverses Europe again, and this time, after seven months, arrives in the Land of Israel, astride a horse.
This romantic figure sets up in Jerusalem and becomes a key figure in Jerusalem's Jewish Community and as sign of the respect in which he is held he becomes the Shamash of the Hurvah Synagogue. Years later Sir Moshe Montefiori, rebuild Rachel's Tomb, and Yehuda Bassan the locksmith, made an iron door, that could be open using a very heavy and sophisticated key, Sir Montefiore looked for a brave and strong man, in mind and body, that will be able to walk from the Old City of Jerusalem to Rachel's Tomb, and ,to this job he found Abraham Leib Monzon, giving him the Key and the responsibility of guarding the Holly Place, he received also the seal of Rachel's Tomb for safekeeping.
This honour is still in the family's hands to this days. He walked 7 Kilometers every day to fulfill this assignment. All these missions were passed to his son Shimon Monzon, known as Shimon Shamash. His children Abraham Leib II and Moshe Monzon, were very talented in art and didn't want to continue with this assignment. They went to Frankfurt in 1890 to study the art of Lithography , two years later they came back to the Holly Land and opened the first printing press for artistic lithographs, and specifies in illuminating and printing holly books in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.
Decades later, Moshe Monzon (the great grandson) whose artistic tendencies, brought him to weave and design these magnificient tapestries, continuing with a family tradition of creating art. The joy and enthusiasm that Moshe depicts in all his works are signature to the graceful, elegance that exemplifies the beauty of his tapestries.
Each tapestry is entirely hand-made of synthetic materials. The felt and color fast dyes in 300 colors,are all locally produced in Israel. Employing an exclusive collage/tissage technique, the artist places individual strips of felt atop one another, by hand, processing the tapestry with a special loom. This combination of artistic creativity, skilled craftsmanship and advanced technology results in a colorful, one of a kind, signed artistic masterpiece. The unique tapestries of Moshe Monzon reflect the stately elegance of the Mediterranean landscape and the contemporary sophistication of modern abstract art.
