"Music Man" Painting

Native New Yorker, Benjamin Casiano is an accomplished creative director, designer & painter. Painting was always his first love. Inspired & influenced by the great masters worldwide, But it's the women also played a crucial role in his life, which is why he pays tribute to them with his paintings. Casiano’s work fuses expressionism & pop/neo-cubism. Although he uses geometric and abstract shapes in his artwork, a prominent focal point is the one-eye figurative. “Most of my one-eye figurative are a reflection of my alter ego & a self-portrait of my subconscious,” says Casiano. “Im blind in one eye, but the irony is I was painting figures with a single eye years before losing my vision.”

Casiano always had a love for strings & classical music. “Music & art go hand in hand. I never learned to play but I at least paint my favorite musical instruments with the ladies,” he says. For Casiano, painting has proven to be a positive emotional outlet. His works have been exhibited in galleries in the U.S., Europe as far away as South Korea. Recognized with numerous honors & awards. Casiano is currently exhibiting in New York City, Philadelphia, Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Paris & Oudewater, Holland. Numerous pieces are
