If you happened to walk across Israel's playgrounds, you'll probably find yourself gazing at astonishing dragons and many other magical creatures. The mastermind behind those sculptures is Gil Sadeh, one of Israel's most promising outdoor sculptors.  

 

	What am I?

"My sculptures are intended to be large outdoor sculptures and I take this into consideration when I create them. I studied landscape architecture as well as art and design and I try to combine them," Sadeh explained to Ynetnews.  

 

"I try to sculpt images that viewers will identify and empathize with, so that they will be drawn into the joyous, peaceful and non-threatening atmosphere that I'm trying to create."

 

"Since 2000, I have placed over 70 outdoor sculptures all over Israel," Sadeh added. Some of Sadeh's high profile projects include the main entrance to the city of Holon, The Garden of Senses in Sheba Hospital, Bat-Yam's beachfront area and more.
