Ebenezer Haile

Ebenezer Haile is an artist of ethiopian descent born and raised in Toronto, Ont. As the son of a photographer images have been integral to his upbringing and his sense making of the world around him. Although much of his education strayed from the arts, attaining a biological sciences degree at the University Of Guelph, his continued interest in beauty and the narratives surrounding images of value pulled his interests back to the arts. While working in the pharmaceutical industry, a part time enrollment at the Academy of Art Canada, a fine art atelier specializing in traditional art instruction reaffirmed his need for fully embracing a life as an artist. After a few years of attending AAC he decided to leave for florence, Italy to attend the Florence Academy of Art where he further strengthened his draftmanship skills and his artistic proficiency. Aside from his ability to realistically represent images in an artistic manner, Ebenezer attempts to anchor his images with narratives concerned with the human condition in its many forms.
