'Igal Presler' ', (Hebrew:' '' יגאל פרסלר '') , born in Odessa in 1968) is a multidisciplinary artist. In 2012 he founded the Private Presler Museum of Art.

He utilizing the deceptive aspect of art as a means to embed in it ideology and belief. While the works entail a criticism on western society, they also create a conceptual and aesthetic alternative. Each work in his oeuvre is a holistic creation with the purpose of being more than the mere painting or sculpture, but to create a real
