The brilliance of Azoulay's art centers on his ability to convey the purity of line to create strong illusions of fluid motion and life.

The chief curator of the Musee Du Louvre in Paris, upon acquiring two of Azoulay's etchings for their permanent collection reviewed him as "A young man whose varied and prolific works lets us predict a very bright future for him."

Azoulay, a self taught artist, was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1949. His parents settled in Paris when he was ten and by the age of thirteen he was sketching and selling his drawings on the streets and planning his career as an artist.

As he met people from various parts of the world, his interest in traveling grew and when he was fourteen he left home and hitchhiked across Europe and the Middle East. His desire to see and be part of the life, history and beauty of the world took him from Copenhagen to Rome, from Lisbon to Jerusalem. He made the world his university, people were his main subject with their joys and pains and ways of life. He became fluent in five languages.

His need to move on took him to London in 1970, and from there to Monte Carlo, Portugal and finally back to Paris. In March of 1976, he arrived in California where he presently resides in beautiful Bell Canyon, amongst horses and riders.  This is a familiar subject to those who know his many works.

He is married to Charmaine Seal, a noted ballerina, yet another of Azoulay's favorite subjects.

They have three children, sons Lawrence and Arnaud, and daughter Ondine who is the subject of an etching that is part of the collection of the Bibliotheque National Du Louve in Paris.
