“Ezi” (as he signs his works, a family nickname for Ernest) is an Artist strongly influenced by his travels around the world where he captures the beauty of what he sees in landscapes, people and cultures.

Ezi was born in Cairo, Egypt.  When he was 14 years old the Algazi Family (his parents, brother and 3 sisters) left Egypt for Marseilles France and then spent six month in Paris, France before settling in Trenton, New Jersey.  During the summer of 1970, Ezi spent three months in Israel, where he continued showing his artistic talent by sketching the farm scenes and the people that he met.  On the way back to the United States he spent time in Belgium, France and England.

After high school, he attended Mercer County Community College where he studied art under Mel Lepzig, a renowned artist.  Ezi also attended the College of New Jersey, where he studied art with Bruce Rigby and Horoshi Murata (two very accomplished artists). "I remember going to New York City to help Bruce Rigby hang his paintings in one of the top Soho galleries. It was a great learning experience." Ezi also studied Photography and minored in Computer Science and later received a degree in Advertising and Design.

In 1973 Ezi moved to a kibbutz in Israel for six months.  In 1984 he traveled to Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Geneva, Paris, Belgium and Holland. This was more than a vacation, as he traveled with his sketch pad and camera, studying the great art masters of Europe.

In 1989 he met and married his beautiful wife Amy. In 1990 Amy and Ezi had a son named Robert. In 1995 they moved from Ewing New Jersey to Yardley, PA.

In December 2010, Ezi and his Family relocated to Parkland, Florida.

Ezi worked as a computer programmer for the State of new Jersey, Office of Information Technology (OIT) and after 28 years he retired at a young age and has been a full time artist for many years.

Ezi continues to travel to find new inspirations for his paintings.  He recently traveled to Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Croatia, Monte Carlo, Alaska, Antartica, Purtugal, Argentina, Brasil, Cyprus, Chile, Netherland, Russia, Cuba, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Bora Bora. He also cruised to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, St. Thomas, St. Martin, Puerto Rico, Panama Canal, Honduras and other tropical Islands.  He takes hundreds of photographs back to his new larger studio in Parkland Florida and analyzes each picture and then give his own interpretation of what he sees.  When he is finished he comes up with the perfect composition, where each work conveys a special feeling to the viewer.  His paintings are full of color and life, having the sense of controlled spontaneity and liveliness in brushwork; in essence they are a reflection of him.

Ezi is planning to expand his horizons by returning to Europe and will continue to look for new places around the world for inspiration.  He will also submit more of his works of art to Museums, Galleries, Magazines and art competitions.
