Have you ever tried to hide your tears or sweep them under the rug?
Thought-provoking illustrations by Israeli artist Yuval Robichek examine such situations precisely, if not in a real at least in a metaphorical sense. Having studied “Humor in Arts” at the School of Visual Arts, New York, Yuval creates illustrations for magazines, books, murals, fashion, and even TV projects.
With his illustrations, the artist takes an interesting angle from which to look at life, especially relationships. Some of his illustrations are relaxed and heart-warming depicting a couple engaged in a pillow fight inside a snowglobe. Others are more blunt with their romantic humor and candor pointing fingers at the romantic rituals practised nowadays. Not everything is about couples, though, you won't need to scroll a lot to meet a girl whose underskirts are made of popcorn or a guy with a coffee-stove-shaped body.
Scroll down and see for yourself!

Thanks i really did not get that. Thank you. Poem..... Desiderata by Max Erman circa 1926. Says to surrender the (things?) of youth. A lot of people conduct their everyday life by this . Check it out. Very beautiful

Father Time takes his toll on us all, some have more time left than others...
All relationships start out with promise, its up to us to make those promises become reality
Promises are not needed. It's a phrase that appears in Japanese love songs a lot, and I agree and stand by them. I don't need cheesy promises, that would make a partner less believable. But that's just my opinion. To each their own.

Yes! I do and my mood swings are very severe, so my SO has to "read me" all the time (if we don't directly talk about it). I appreciate the hell out of it and love him more for this.

I think this one is really interesting. The way I would interpret it, is that the sapling is symbolizing work-life. How we work through most of ours only with our eyes towards the retirement age when we are finally allowed to relax and take it easy. I really like this one because it's damn true.
How in the hell did you interpret it that way? You would literally have to be thinking about exactly that and then make this fit that idea... maybe I just don't understand art...

Not at all! She is spreading the love by taking the airplanes, and making them into boats for the next person to find, and then spread the love even more to the next person, and so forth.

From the simpler side of youth to the more complicated side of adult life, we progress
Me, every moring and evening... (on the left) LOVE this! Very clever.
Me only on foot clocking my speed. What a stupid joke iwas. May be considered a bad joke. Life goes on and sometimes life just an't fair. Had to learn that on my own. Nobody told me until after the fact. Live and Learn.
Depends on your priorities, right? Self love is all very well but not healthy if your too busy with self to be occupied with anything else&the same goes for the fellow on the seat...Its a balance
It tends to start in the gym, and end on the bench. Once you're reassured, the two of you might start gaining weight together.
Vice versa with me and my bf. We met when we both were already fit. But we both also have had our 'chubby periods'. So, we're motivating each other to stay on the healthy side.

Loneliness brings thoughts of having been loved, perhaps to love again.
It is not a matter about how you get there, it is about actually getting there
I thought it just mean whether you are sitting side by side or fore and back on the vehicle. So habit just form from day to day action.
All walks of life can enjoy things that life has to offer.
It took me a moment to see the heart shape in cyan color, love is in small things you do everyday with the partner you live with, like having a bath and brushing your teeth.
She looks like she's doing something else there that should take place on the throne.

Real love isn't necessarily attractive or flattering.

i think it means something about sharing since they have marks from one anotherS swimsuits?
With time body changes one becomes old ( here one became thinner nother plumpier) but companionship n sharing continued
they both think the other person is better than themselves, and their trying to be like to other person. IDK, just what I think
They have the tan marks from the other's swimsuit. Is it a girl thing, sharing swimsuits? Maybe it means some sapphic connection...
Two types of people; one’s a tidy perfectionist, while the other’s carefree.

Maybe she has folded his cloths. But there was no time to fold her own cloths.

Load More Replies...Love isnt a free bird with a cage at the end, love sets you free, to grow&to move with confidence
Honestly, I agree. That's what a healthy relationship looks and feels like. Yes, even during hardships. Personally, I find all that cage and slavery related metaphor rather boring when they're used to describe love. Unless you're into kinky stuff. Eheheh ♥
Load More Replies...Mmmh I feel it means more like we are still together even in different paths and it destroys things in our way
Love is doing something sweet for your lover&winning over their heart
Lol whenever I used to get my mom mad, she'd say I was 'eating her brain'... just like it is here I guess ._.
One record playing, one piece of pizza gone: each one is going through their own set of records, probably to pick up the next record to be played. Reminds me of my youth, when I was a teenager, it's the kind of night I'd have with my girlfriend. She'd be reading a book, I'd be reading another, and we'd stop reading after a while to share our different stories.
Too much of any relationship (even with alcohol) will come back to haunt you
First half of the journey the father carried the small son and in the remaining journey, the son will carry the old father
The boy is starting to walk in someone else's footsteps (no footsteps before, and he's clearly not the one having made them), while the man has come to hold his hand. I don't get it... A passing of old to young, like the man will transmit something to the young generation, a path?... intriguing.
See no, hear no&speak no...Evil is everywhere but only if you are receptive to it
Look, there's not a deep meaning to everything here, you know. Sometimes they are just playful images.
Load More Replies...This is, sadly , the way a lot of women where I live think. Love isn't a vending machine! The lady makes her choice in all the pretenders, but she only takes out it's heart. Poor guy... and all the others too, standing there in desperate hope, like figurines.
I think, it’s more of a " life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get " thing; she’s bidding in her effort, and it’s up to her to see whom she meets and what she finds at the end — hopefully, love.
Load More Replies...I just looked up Wikipedia: "Swang Song" Le chant du cygne désigne la plus belle et dernière chose réalisée par quelqu’un avant de mourir (The Swan Song designates the most beautiful and last thing done by someone before he dies)! Some call the male orgasm: la petite mort (the small death) because of endorphins being released making you very tired and sleepy after orgasm.
He can see reality like it is. She sees it distored. Could mean a mental health issue, or how they see the relationshitp
The man's heart is sliding to his pants while the woman is watching with interest, uncovering the process after having shared glasses of wine or alcohol. True that love can lead to sex, or else we would not have been born!
Never believe that sex equals love, no matter what he tells you

Unfortunate likeness, thats why I try not to bend over from the waist...Better to crouch
Isn't it a tad hypocrit the way we look at people in public transportations, and the moment we see someone attractive, we try to observe them without getting noticed? Like it's a crime to attract the attention of a stranger or just go talk to them. You don't do that here, it's not well received. Some people will chit-chat if they're in the mood, but mostly: strangers must stay strangers.
First time I see the Heimlich manoeuver used to extract a heart that was stuck in a throat. Tough love...
I would not fall into this woman's bed, loveless relations are not my thing.
Is this how men are perceived in relationships, D*** heads? I see both sides are the same shape.
That's my life! drinking coffee, music and listening, dreaming at the sea ( in the window of my mind).
I kinda relate to that being depressive and not being able to leave the bed. It feels like you're drowning, but yet you're incapable of getting up.
“...can I go now?” “No, i’ll bring breakfast to bed. You’re mine forever.” “Until the police come.” “If they come. Toodles!”
Stood all alone at the gas station of love, using the self service pumps...
The perfect image of man/woman relationships in Northern American culture. They share the bed, they share the cover, but the cover isn't large enough for both of them, yet she thinks it's fair she gets covered, while he gets partially uncovered, with half a painting above the wall, half a desk with half a lamp and half a cell phone on it, and half a slipper pair. Not a fair deal. Men used to work and women stay home; in the 60s it started to change and now women work on tehir own, but still expect that the male contributes with the same proportion. Rights of men are taken down in favor of feminist driven laws.
Thats not how it works. The woman wants to get covered, and she thinks if the man wants to get covered, then the man would just pull the cover a bit over to his side. But, in this case he doesn't. And men can protest if they want too. Their also human. Rights of men are also not taken down. it only that females are getting equal pay. But still, in many places, the female gets lower pay than the male, even though she is in a higher postion.

I think it's waaaay harder to be alone in a space that's sparsely populated. You can disappear in a crowd.
