Benjamin is an undergraduate student and he is pursuing his bachelors in Fine Arts in drawing and painting. His only interest at the moment is art, he only has time for art and sleep basically. Art is his life. He likes to explore relationships, being connecting to someone or something. He like painting connections from far and close up to show how people can connect with different types of things such as his paintings.
Benjamin’s thoughts on his paintings is to show a connection and he does it with lots of detail . His paintings are very detailed from the main part of the painting to the back ground. Each line he draws seems to have a purpose and makes the painting have life. He drew it in black and white maybe for a reason but he didn’t tell us. The depth in his paintings are really nice it really looks like its a long hallway in a hospital.
Benjamin is talking about human beings relationship to nature. His drawing show how we distance ourselves from the open and natural world through increasing urbanization. He likes relationships and connections so that’s he painted the boy in the the stable , the boy on the horse, and the boy looking at the worse lay down. His paintings show or resemble a connection.
The art caught my eye I thought the art was a pictures. They were so detailed that they looked like paintings so when I got closer i saw it wasn’t and it amazed me so that’s why I wanted to talk to Benjamin and get to know more about the art. I thought when I first saw it that it was a little boy and his horse so they did kind of has a connection. I understand the bond they formed and I feel like we saw parts their lives together.
