Peretz was born in Jerusalem and studied art at the College of Visual Arts in Beer Sheva. In 1995 he moved to Tel Aviv and began to focus his work on describing LGBT life. He paints portraits of male nudity, same-sex couples, portraits of prominent figures from the Israeli LGBT community, pride parades, young men and women soldiers, and some heterosexual couples. Petty soon he’d turned into one of the major Israeli artists who produce homosexual content.
