Andrew Benyei is a painter and sculptor who exhibits his versatility both in the media in which he works and the subject matter he depicts.

His paintings in watercolour, oil and acrylics capture the beauty of nature as well as the excitement and interest of the urban setting. His whimsical art shows his humour, and he captures the personality vividly in his portraits in both painting and sculpture.

His sculptures range from the classical figure to the abstract. Much of his work depicts the human condition in ironic, sensitive and humorous ways. His figurative work is often anecdotal in a way that invites exploration of a possible underlying story. He uses a variety of media including bronze, fired clay, steel, wood and fibreglass.

Following his studies at the University of Toronto and the Ontario College of Art, Benyei worked as a professional engineer. In 1990 he decided on developing his creative ability- and at his first one man show sold a total of 32 pieces! Since then he has exhibited widely across Ontario in many gallery shows and juried exhibitions. He is represented by over a dozen galleries in Canada and the United States. Benyei currently works out of his studio in Toronto.
