France-based & international artist, Benedicte Gele turns the lines into an expressive and alive forms. The line vibrates under her hands, the horse comes alive almost by itself as her act of painting is an intuitive and expression of the feelings at the moment. No plan, no precise objective her process is the present moment mixed to a letting go.
DIVE INTO AN ARTWORK
Writing about my paintings has used to be a so much hard exercise for me during years because I didn’t really know me, not at all actually. I found out that the more I was aware of what I was, the more I could talk about my art. And the more I talk about my art, the more I know me.
I paint as it comes, not every day, not for hours. I don’t necessarily paint as popular imagery sees it. I paint my way.
It’s a sudden urge that I barely control. I know that I can bring about this drive through music. It works often but not all the time.
Painting uses a lot of my energy. That’s also why I can’t paint for too long. It’s like a running, after I have a crazy energy then it falls and I’m tired.
It took me a long time to know myself at this level and just as much to accept it.
But I love my way of painting! I have a lot of feelings that make me feel so good during the process: some waves of love and joy mostly. My creativity nourish itself with that. Without these emotions, to paint is a constraint. That’s also why it takes me a lot of energy.

Let’s the words speak…
“I would highly recommend Benedicte’s work, it is stunning, modern and eye catching. I asked for a bespoke sized print of one of her paintings and she took the time to check different size options with her specialist printer and I was delighted to find she could supply the very large size I needed. Wonderful and friendly, eager to please and passionate about her art, it was a pleasure to buy from her.”

Abstraction
I sometimes border on abstraction. It’s a will, I love abstraction and I love the horse. Difficult to reconcile but nothing is impossible for the one who persists in his […]
