Mosh Kashi was born on November 4, 1966, in Jerusalem, into a family of 8. His father, Efraim Kashi, was a builder for Solel Boneh and worked for years on building the Israel Museum. As a teenager he attended the boarding school at Ben Shemen Youth Village, a period that later shaped his painting series "Cronos".

He studied at HaMidrasha School of Art from 1984 to 1987. From 1998 to 2000 he completed a master's degree in art and education at Bretton Hall College in Leeds, UK.

Kashi first exhibited in 1992 and won the America-Israel Cultural Foundation Prize that year. In 1997 he began lecturing at Bezalel. His solo shows include "Cronos" at Noga Gallery in 2006, an installation at Bialik House in 2010, and a solo exhibition at the Tefen Museum in 2012.

His paintings show fields, trees, thorns and open landscapes, and he works in series that study one subject slowly. His works are held by the Israel Museum, the Haifa Museum of Art, the Tefen Museum and the Herzliya Museum.
