Philippe Benichou is a French-American artist. Born in French occupied Algeria in 1957, his family moved to Nantes, France, when he was just a small child. Philippe comes from a family of artists and began studying painting and art history as a youth with his late mother, artist Arlette Oger. He studied at the Sorbonne University, New York University and UCLA. Philippe formally studied and was greatly encouraged by well known art educator, artist and sculptor, Francis Coelho, in San Francisco, CA. In addition to being a painter, Philippe is a successful voice over artist, stage director and acting coach in Hollywood. As an actor, Philippe has worked extensively on the New York stage, soap operas, TV series and films both in the United States and abroad. He�s the original founder of the Hollywood Actors Studio where he teaches and conducts seminars, and lectures since 1989. He continues to study art as it relates to spiritual growth, creative freedom and his ongoing development as an artist and art educator. |
| About the Artist | |
I was led to becoming an artist through a spiritual quest that began when I was a child and crystallized in the mid to late nineteen nineties. I never consciously intended to paint. I have always been intensely fascinated by the innermost workings of the universe, both physical and spiritual finding similarities between the vastness of the ever expanding cosmos and freedom of mind. Strange as it seems, I feel like my spirit is in a constant state of creative meditation, free to roam through many other planes and dimensions. My paintings are proofs and accounts of my travels and spiritual reflections. I paint from inner visions and intense emotions, impossible to organize in words, which I let go of instead on canvas. I seem to follow an inner guide, a wisdom or an internal muse that supplies me with tremendous joy and a wonderful feeling of long forgotten peace. |

| ...this is a captured abstract voyage into emotional attidudes felt during this memorable soccer epic. I tried to capture the "feel" of the emotion (if theer is uch a thing) rather than the figurative visual, yet the visual is there as a presence. |

King of Pop

|
| This is a powerful abstract voyage into Pop culture. Michael Jackson was the inspiration during his times of trouble. The dark side of fame perhaps or the inevitable decline after the rise...I wanted to capture a moment in the eternal dance of our fragile existence. |
