Since age thirteen, Azoulay's thirst for adventure has taken him to many parts of the world, earning his way by painting and performing as an actor. Azoulay met his wife Charmine Seal, noted Welsh ballerina, in Israel, and in 1976 they arrived in the United States. In this short time span, Azoulay has worked to establish himself as an American etcher. In 1983, Azoulay was chosen to create the official Kentucky Derby Festival Poster. He was challenged by the thought of creating image that combined his love of horses with the excitement of the world's greatest horse races. His latest series of etchings are intended to capture the spirit and vitality of racing's most important competitions: Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and the Belmont. included in the artist's achievements are the acceptance of seven of his works in the permanent collection of the Musee Du Louvre (Cabinet Des Dessins). His work is in the private collections of President Ronald Reagan, His Majesty King Hassan II of Morocco, President Francois Mitterrand of France and the late President Sadat of Egypt. Several works by Azoulay are in the Nelson Rockefeller Collection. An early critique of Azoulay's said of him that he is "a young man whose varied and prolific work lets us predict a very bright future." (Mr. Daniel Serrulaz Chief Curator Musee Du Louvre, 1978).
