Contemporary Artist Philippe Benichou

I never consciously set out to become an artist. It emerged suddenly at the age of 40.


I paint from inner visions and intense emotions impossible to express in words. Moving freely between mediums, including digital painting, I treat art as a space of transformation rather than representation.


I began exhibiting in 2003 in Los Angeles at the Johnson Art Collection and in New York at the Museum of Computer Art, later showing extensively across Europe.

Artist Resume

In my explorations, I developed a process I call AquaDigiGraphy, bridging traditional and digital art forms. Learn more here.


After many years in Los Angeles and New York City, I currently reside in Provence, France.

My Process

I named this art form AquaDigiGraphy because it combines watercolor (Aqua), digital art (Digital), and photography (Graphy). What is used to create? Pencils, watercolors & pastels. Oils & acrylics. Photography & Digital Art.

I start by drawing using Japanese inks and color pencils. I then digitize the result, print it on fine art paper, and continue painting and adding layers.
