Isaac Ben Aharon

Atlanta, GA

I am the kid who followed his mother’s advice and chose medical school over art school. Now, after a long hiatus, I have returned to my first calling. One of the most valuable parts of my daily practice as a radiologist, subspecialized in the diagnosis of breast cancer, is the rare opportunity to get to know people at their most vulnerable time. It is that sense of vulnerability that I try to convey in my artwork.



It was only natural that my work as a radiologist led me to figurative art and portraiture: I approach each new piece without any preconceptions and peel off the layers of façade until I reach the soul within. As a self-taught artist, each work is truly a journey for me rendered in graphite, ink, colored pencils, gauche or oils.
