Victor Ostrovsky

Victor Ostrovsky was born in 1949 in Canada. He moved to Israel with his family at age five. His inclination for the arts was apparent from a very early age. The well-known Israeli painter, Gilady, lived on the same street and would often set up his easel outdoors to paint. Victor would watch, spellbound, on his way to and from school as Gilady created wonderful images on the blank canvas. Eventually, the artist presented Victor with his own box of oil paints and took the time to guide him into a world where expressions come through images and color, handing the child a gift that would soon become a passion. Victor entered the military at the age of eighteen and became the youngest officer in the Israeli Defense Force at the time. Victor rose to rank of a lieutenant commander in the Israeli Navy and served as head of the weapon testing program when he was recruited by Israelís elite intelligence agency, the Mossad.
