Born in 1956 in the former Soviet Union.
In 1976, Gorban graduated from the Kishinev Higher School for the
Painting Arts in Moldavia and in 1982, he graduated from the Academy for
Painting in the city of Lvov, majoring in graphics. Gorban received a
grant in 1988-1990 from the Artist's Association of the Soviet Union,
and he emigrated to Israel with his family in 1990.
It is doubtful whether any other artist studied art for 21 years before displaying his paintings on the market. Michael Gorban completed his studies at age 30, with a record behind him of working closely with the finest of Russian artists, and using dozens of painting techniques.
