Yaron Steinberg is a contemporary artist and illustrator working across sculpture, installation, drawing, architectural models, found objects, and mixed media. His multidisciplinary practice explores the relationship between memory, fiction, urban space, and the psychological landscapes embedded within architecture and everyday environments.
Steinberg creates imagined worlds through architectural forms, temporary structures, city-like assemblages, and poetic spatial compositions made from materials such as cardboard, glass, books, photographs, industrial elements, and found objects collected over years of travel and observation. His personal visual language is deeply influenced by ideas of nomadic life, wandering, urban experience, and the fragile relationship between people and the environments they inhabit. His works often move between the personal and collective, constructing alternate realities where memory, displacement, history, and imagination coexist.
Born and raised in Jerusalem, Israel, Steinberg graduated from the Department of Visual Communication at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, in 2011, and participated in a student exchange program at VSUP University in Prague, Czech Republic.
His professional career began as an illustrator for the animated television series Zack & Quack on the Nick Jr. channel between 2011 and 2013. Between 2014 and 2019, he lectured at the External Studies Program at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. In 2019–2020, he worked as an illustrator for Pirate Kings by Playtika Ltd. Since 2020, Steinberg has served as a lecturer and program director at the External Studies Program at Tel Hai Academic College in northern Israel.
His work has been exhibited internationally in museums, galleries, and cultural institutions including the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Bundeskunsthalle in Bonn, White Space Chelsea in New York, Liebling Haus in Tel Aviv, and QL Gallery in Graz, Austria. Selected solo exhibitions include City/Time/Space at Barbur Gallery, Jerusalem (2022), Architec at Hutzot Gallery, Jerusalem (2024), and The Flood at QL Gallery, Graz (2026).
