Farid Benyaa was born in the Algerian city of Bejaia.

He did not start off being a full-time artist, but played a significant role in major restoration projects, also working with a team from UNESCO. Afterwords, he decided to open his own gallery: the Galerie d’Art Farid Benyaa.

The gallery is not only a tribute to the artistic abilities of these amazing artists, but to the beauty and wonders of Algeria.
