The artists

Budnero  Eliezer

My interest for painting began at an early age. As a child I was accepted to the Jerusalem Museum School of Art.  I continued with art education at the Art Student Group in Jerusalem, and eventually enrolled in the Betzalelle Art Academy in Jerusalem as well.  

I currently reside in Southern California where I instruct students in painting and drawing. As a member of the Valley Artist Guild in Los Angeles, I participated in several art shows.  Several of the works I submitted won awards, as indicated in the gallery section.

It all started when a friend did not show up for lunch. She wanted to pay me back by inviting me to an art lesson at Mr. Budnero's art studio. I was amazed at Mr. Budnero's artistic capability. He encouraged me to continue and to study figure drawing. Later, I studied with the master animator Glenn Vilppu   who taught me the art of figure drawing. I reside in California and work with Mr. Budnero in his studio. Portrait drawing is my passion. My paintings are mostly decorative ones for business offices and private homes.
