Born in Hummel, Russia.
Following his immigration to Israel in the 1930s, Giladi co-founded the Afikim Kibbutz
At the end of his work day in the Kibbutz, Giladi operated as a Painter, with the support from the Painter Haim Attar.
Many of his works include themes which relate to family life in the Kibbutz. He often painted in the company of Mordechai Levanon and Shimshon Holtzmann, who joined him on excursions to paint the Kineret Lake landscape.
"We dipped our brushes in the same paints and painted the same landscape. But, finally, we produced three very different paintings. Mordechai Levanon’s was spiritual, like a prayer to the creator, Shimshon; Holtzmann’s was springy, joyous and lighthearted, whereas mine was dark, heavy and dramatic.”
His oil paintings depict a grass-roots Israeli atmosphere and landscape. Giladi claimed to be painting from an emotional place – an intuitive painter.
Throughout all of his works, he maintained a leaning towards figurative painting, even when his paintings became more abstract. Abstraction was a means of “Purification from the affliction of day-to-day materialism”. However, the subjects of his paintings were derived from day-to-day life: human landscape, images of Kibbutz life and representations moments from family life.
From the 1950s, Giladi lived and worked in Kfar Saba and Holon. He was a member of the group “New Horizons” and presented his work in many exhibitions in Israel and abroad.
His Paintings appear in the collections of the most distinguished Museums in Israel as well as in the Museum of Modern Art, Miami, U.S.

Born in Belarus, Golodetz (later Giladi) studied at the Leningrad Academy of Art from 1923 until 1926.
He was exiled to Siberia for Zionist activity in 1926. In 1929 he immigrated to Israel and helped found Kibbutz Afikim.
He moved out of the kibbutz in 1948, but remained in Israel and continued to paint scenes of everyday life in an abstracted and expressionist style.
