Elie Benzaquen, artist, scribe, and classical TV
animator, was born in 1965 in Scotland,
United Kingdom.
He attended the Sancho Academy of Art in Venezuela,
studied computer graphics at the Dawson School of Applied Arts, and fine art
at Portraits International, both in Montreal.
His training included Classical Academic Art at the Algonquin School of
Applied Arts for a two year period in Ottawa,
Ontario. He also apprenticed
with the Italian glass master Gianni Tosso, an artist whose works are
regularly featured at Christies Auction House. Elie's best works are executed
mostly in charcoal and oils.
He is well known for his portraits as well as scenes of everyday life, and
these portraits have appeared on various book and magazine covers and form
part of many private art collections around the globe, from Israel to Australia,
New York to South
America. His work adorns the homes of well known figures such as
Australian philanthropist Joseph Gutnick and California Radio host Dr. Laura
Schlessinger. The artist has recently met H.R.H. Prince Charles as well as
the Canadian Prime Minister, and his portrait of former PM Pierre E. Trudeau
hangs at the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
He lives in Ottawa, Canada with his wife Ilana and
their four boys.
