Raphael Abecassis was born in Marrakesh, Morocco in 1953 and grew up in Israel where he paints today. He studied art at the College of Education in Beersheva. 

Raphael Abecassis is heralded as one of the new generation of Israeli artists with worldwide recognition. Drawing on rich Jewish tradition, to which he brings his tremendous talent, Abecassis has developed a strikingly unique style, combining Jewish symbols, sephardic motifs, and modern composition into a well harmonized bold celebration of color. 

The artist's works are a combination of the symbols of long-standing Jewish tradition with an innovative collection of colors and forms. His works are a synthesis of the natural and the supernatural, the traditional and the modern, the decorative and the mystic. In subtly varied compositions, precise calligraphy and often freshly daring natural colors, Abecassis creates works of the finest aesthetic harmonies and formal perfection. The artist works in a variety of media including paintings, serigraphy, ceramic, embroidery, silver and stained glass windows. People love the artist's wonderful use of color and his whimsical style. Raphael Abecassis is a master of modern Jewish art.
