Discover the contemporary work of Benenati
Born in Marseille, it was after his studies in Applied Arts that he began a 20-year career as an art director in the most prestigious Parisian advertising agencies. His creative experience of shifts is now expressed in sculpture, his true nature, through numbered bronzes. Encouraged by personalities such as Mr. Gérard Depardieu, Mrs. Françoise Fabian and the artist Ben, his work will quickly be crowned by
numerous distinctions.
Physical and symbolic marriage, my sculptures reveal an invisible truth of the soul
of my subjects. To see it is to listen to one's child's heart with closed eyes.
My bronze creations are resolutely surrealist, most of the time animal,
betray my Italian origins as they are so baroque. These works, symbolist-
surrealist, with multiple readings, allegorical, forget neither the beautiful, nor the living, nor the light, nor
even time. Before becoming bronzes numbered 1/8, 2/8... the originals are in
plaster. Sculpted and modeled by the artist, the works are then molded and cast in
foundry using the lost wax technique.
