Living in History

The Artist

Eli Ofir turned to art after a 20 year long career as a Hi-Tech entrepreneur. He studied Geo-Physics at university and travelled the world during his business career, while managing companies specializing in computerized graphics and multimedia systems.

“One magical summer’s day I found myself sitting under a tree in beautiful Ashdown Forest, drawing an old house that caught my eye and heart. It was the first day of the rest of my life. It was the day I started my new career. I have never looked back.” says Eli.

Eli now works as a full time artist. He takes on commissions to draw all sorts of houses, big and small, old and new. Not only does he produce beautiful original portraits, he also provides high-quality digital copies that can be later used for prints, letterheads, cards and so on. He exhibits his work at international shows every year such as the Hampton Court Flower Show and the Country Living shows.
