Garbuz's early work, in the 1960s, combined photographic collage and scribbles to create expressive figurative 
portraits and grotesque nudes.
From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, he made ironic use of characters from Zionist propaganda and incorporated texts in his compositions. Later, he returned to more traditional painting and created collages referencing the history of Israeli art.
