Ernesto Piven was 11 years old when he moved to Israel from Montevideo and he became Hanoch. Initially feeling like an outsider, he began drawing caricatures. When he was rejected by the Betzalel Academy of Art, Piven moved to New York and achieved international success as an illustrator and caricaturist. But something was missing.
Ten years later, Hanoch returned to Israel and finally felt like he could be himself. Today he divides his life between Barcelona and Israel – just the right balance.
