I'm Ben, a San Francisco-based artist exploring the intersection of abstract painting and digital photography.

Though I grew up surrounded by artists, I never considered myself one—and I envied those who had that beautiful creative outlet for self-expression. My artistry began on stage and in front of the camera, yet I never fully embraced the title of "artist."It wasn't until the COVID-19 pandemic that I finally decided to explore visual art. From the moment

I started, I fell in love with it. Not long after, I developed a clear vision for my work. In my short time as an artist, I’ve had the privilege of showcasing my art at the De Young Museum and contributing to a permanent installation in a luxury building. My creative journey is about merging mediums to bring my unique vision to life. By blending the organic spontaneity of abstract painting with the precision

of digital techniques, I strive to create work that resonates

on multiple levels. To me, art is more than color on

canvas—it’s a reflection of resilience, movement,

and raw emotion. It captures the tension between chaos

and clarity, challenging the balance between control and

spontaneity.Every painting, photograph, and drawing is

a journey—an exploration of passion, truth, and the relentless pursuit of self-expression
