Beñat's expressionist paintings place a strong emphasis on form and composition, utilising a variety of mediums to reconnect with the past through organic shapes and tonal canvases.
Employing abstract expression, Beñat’s gestural mark-making and creation of forms reflect the natural world’s shapes and shadows. His pieces are crafted using a blend of thick acrylic paint, dirt, charcoal, and pencil, resulting in a distinctively intricate aesthetic.
The monochromatic palette of Beñat’s works mirrors the unexplored realms of his mind. Engaged in a journey of reconnecting with his past, Beñat utilises these bold compositions as a personal map, tracing back and rediscovering intimate moments held within his memory.
These thematic explorations, coupled with the expressionist style, signify Beñat’s refusal to adhere to literal representations or fixed visual explanations. Instead, they foster a sense of intimate connection between the viewer and the canvases.
