Ayal ElbazAyal was born and raised in Israel. After completing his military service at 21, Ayal started to travel the world searching for answers to a few key questions that had been troubling him since a young age, namely, which society or country in the worl is the most accommodating to an idealist, artist and a romantic. Ayal spent time in the US, England, Germany, France, Romania, South Africa and Australia, alternating between these countries and Israel, until 2013 when he decided to make Poland more of a permanent home for himself. In 2000 Ayal became a therapist and that has been his main occupation since. Being a musician from an early age, he also has been working as a musician playing shows in cafés, restaurants, clubs, weddings and private parties during his time in Poland. One of the reasons why Ayal chose to live in Poland was the old-fashioned ways of the Polish people, their respect for women, the femininity of women and the interrelations between women and men. Spending all of his life in western countries, to him, living in Poland was a bit like going back in time and living in a classic black & white movie, a time where men were men and women were women, with grace and class. Aware of the changes occurring around the world (including Poland) with regard to femininity - the reduction in inclination to be feminine and the view of femininity increasingly as a weakness as well as a thing of the past, along with the deterioration of the family unit and the health of relations between women and men in general - Ayal felt that the old and beautiful world is rapidly disappearing and that something should be said about it.
