About:
Michelle Benjamin blends traditional and digital art media
to create work that resonates on multiple levels, occupying a unique space in
the art world. Benjamin is naturally drawn to silhouettes, especially the stark
shape of leafless trees. “They are the most evocative images on earth, and I
have this desire to capture as many as I can in my lifetime,” she explains. But
she is also drawn to other forms in nature, along with people and cities. The
artist uses limited palettes in each piece, often involving complementary
colors, which adds a shimmering quality to her work. Benjamin's photographs and
sketches undergo digital evolution and transformation in her studio where they
are combined with digital design techniques in a dynamic melting pot of
traditional and modern art methods.
The artist was born into an artistic family in Durban, South
Africa. She currently resides in her native country in the city of Pretoria.
Benjamin is well known in the art world as a humanitarian
and art activist because of her collaboration with Save the Rhino International
(London). Benjamin donates artworks of her rhino pieces to SRI, in the fight
against rhino poaching and possible extinction of this endangered species of
wild life. On October 16 2012, Benjamin's artwork 'It's My Horn' was auctioned
at the Prince Albert Suite, The London Zoo, for $1290. All proceeds from this
auction were donated to Save The Rhino International (London).
