Ben Ka

I'm an abstract painter, especially of the unconscious. My work is inspired by Braque, Dali, Klee, Léger, Magritte and Klein. I'm also fascinated by the Italian painters of the Renaissance, Raphael, Bellini, Boticelli, Veronese, Caravaggio. The simple act of reflecting on one's dreams shows the creativity present in the unconscious, and painting then becomes both dangerous and pleasurable. The most exciting thing is the viewer's perception and expected interpretations. For me, painting is like a dream, a dazzling idea that imposes itself on my mind and instantly escapes. I also like to mix the abstract with the figurative. Putting a figurative element on caneva invites you to stimulate your visual perception of the object. The abstract painter may have erased elements of reality without losing sight of the concern for reality and experience. The boundary between abstraction and figuration becomes a space of freedom: that of creation.
Everything is transient, except art.
