About Benzane
The Dual Life
By day, Benzane is a seasoned high-tech Art Director; by night, he sheds that skin to create contemporary digital art rooted in emotion, memory, and transformation. His work inhabits the space between structure and instinct — where control dissolves into intuition.
⸻
The Type of Artist
Benzane is a conceptual mixed-media digital artist and visual storyteller. He builds layered visual narratives from personal archives, found imagery, photography, typography, and digital manipulation. His practice is collage in spirit rather than label — poetic, intimate, and intentionally unresolved.
Rather than illustrating ideas, his work explores psychological and emotional thresholds — moments of becoming rather than arrival.

​
A Global Citizen
Born in Sydney, Australia, and now based in Chania, Crete, Benzane considers himself a global citizen. His perspective is shaped not by borders but by lived experience and the shared language of the human soul. He finds resonance in the ancient Mediterranean, where history, myth, and time collapse into the present.

The Creative Process
Over more than two decades, Benzane has gathered a vast digital scrapbook of imagery, thoughts, and moments. Through photography, illustration, typography, and digital composition, he transforms this archive into visual works that question, disrupt, and quietly provoke.
The eye is his camera, the computer his tool, and the mind a conduit — channeling both light and shadow into form.
⸻
Visual Poetry
At the heart of Benzane’s practice lies a poetic voice. Image and text intertwine, revealing fragments of stories that are deeply personal yet universally resonant. Each work invites interpretation, allowing meaning to unfold through emotion rather than explanation.
⸻
Inspirations & Soul
His muse is David Bowie. His fascination is aviation. His soul feels rooted in ancient Egypt.
Above all, Benzane seeks to create space for creative spirits — those navigating vulnerability, self-doubt, and transformation — offering art as a quiet companion rather than a declaration.
