| "Spirit must
meet with matter. They must interlace like the meshes of a net, like a canvas, a very tight weft, a medium the artist can use to paint his work. While revealing this message of life, I grow in myself a vital and essential love, nurtured on confidence, tenderness and respect. Thus I can build and weave around myself bonds of life and love. Through learning how to love and achieve completeness, through feeling that one belongs to the common bondage, one reaches the divine and blooms into man" Yoel Benharrouche Yoel Benharrouche paints with a deep passion. His vibrant palette and mystical contemplation explore both the historic and spiritual world of Israel. The renowned painter captures the magic of his own Judean Desert. He paints his surroundings with a lyrical quality that has landed him among the elite artists of the world. Formally educated as an artist in France, Benharrouche went on to become a distinguished professor of drawing and painting at Nice´s Academie Paganini. The allure of Israel brought him back to his homeland where he lives and works today. Inspired by the study of scriptures and the history of his surroundings, he continues to explore a duality between his material and spiritual world. Today, you can find Benharrouche paintings in museums, top galleries, and distinguished, private collections throughout the world. |
