ABOUT THE WORK

Through the years, contemporary artist Jana Benitez has not only produced contemporary pieced with a spontaneous quality, but works of art that seemingly reaching out to into the human subconscious subconscious. This particular piece displays Benitez’s firm grasp of both Abstract Expressionism and the underlying psychological impulses that inform our experience. Jana Benitez is often considered a rare artistic prodigy. At twelve years old, Benitez mounted her first solo exhibit at the Ayala Museum. Her talents and natural skill set eventually landed her a spot at the prestigious Brown University where she also ended up graduating magna cum laude. She also pursued history courses at the Universidad de Chile and fine arts at the Universidad de Catolica. Then she further developed her painting skills at the École de Beaux-Arts in Paris. In her continuous artistic evolution of shifting between representational and abstract style, Benitez has developed a confident contemporary painterly style, vivid colors, textured layers, and dynamic lines and strokes.
