Paintings are "Acrylic on canvas" or "Serigraphy on canvas" or "Work on paper".

From the pastel to light, from the poetic to the fantastic, the human to the divine, this is the part taken by Yoël Benharrouche, a renowned artist with a striking career.

His works throughout the world. His works throughout part of many private collections and critics hail him as a confirmed talented artist.

Raised in Israel and educated in France, Yoël Benharrouche paints with a fusion of passion and spirituality. A former professor at Nice's Acadamy Paganini, today Benharrouche is a renowned world-class painter. He lives in the Judean Desert with his wife and five children where he paints and creates, inspired by his surrounding. Yoël's vibrant use of color and composition has earned him a place of honor in first tier galleries and private collections around the world.

Born to deeply religious parents in Beersheva in 1961, he grew up in Aschold where he soon developed a passion for the Scriptures and became familiar face at various study centres. He arrived in Nice (South of France) in 1974 and in 1985 completed his Fine Arts training and teaching drawing. His first canvases show great sensitivity, with an underlying taste for the Absolute and a search for new aesthetics which express his mystical conception of Man and the World. In 1993, he returned to Israël and set up home at the gateway in the desert and, against this grand background steeped in history and spirituality, gave free reign to his inspiration. Alongside his wife and his five children, he sculpts and paints a world where the material becomes spiritual, and the lyricism of colors and the delicacy of forms are a celebration of the Creator and his Creation. Today, Benharrouche exhibits his works throughout the world.
