Tochilkin is one of the most interesting artists of our time and an acclaimed master of modern Israeli paintings, lives in this multilevel, complex and vigorous world. Tochilkin's swift ascent is an extraordinary and highly unusual phenomenon which has rocked the art world over the past few years.

The works of Tochilkin are sufficiently diverse that they cannot be reduced to a common denominator. One of the defining characteristics of Tochilkin's work is the outstanding technique and solid professionalism found in his painting, plastic art, drawing and composition. The artist's traditional training at prestigious art schools has not smothered his spontaneity, but rather has allowed him free rein to release his ingenuity and to give his creative impulse unchecked license to innovate and explore.
