"Pencil vs. camera "- Illusion and Reality


Being an artist multidiscplinario, Ben Heine began his career as a painter and political cartoonist. It also has a degree in journalism, but is considered a self-taught artist, drawing and photography. The project title to this post - and n Spanish "Pencil vs. camera "- is one of his most publicized.
Focusing on architecture, portraits and animals , the author of "Pencil vs. camera "addresses topics such as love and friendship, using a technique that had a great impact in the field of graphic design.This is a combination of photography and drawing with imagination and reality, by the illusion and surrealism .



As discussed, the initial idea of combining drawing with photography came about by chance in 2010 while writing a letter. Then would follow a long exploration decantaría graphic on this project, which is a logical consequence of his artistic development.
On the other hand, " Pencil vs. camera "closely reflects your goals as an artist, which makes it very clear when he says that makes art "for people" who wants to dream and put aside their daily problems.Also note that I used to write poems for many years, and aims to give a poetic meaning to your images.This tries to make each new creation tells a story and create an emotion, "as does a poem or a song."


Among his influences cited Belgian Surrealism, German Expressionism, the American pop art and social realism . Heine undoubtedly has a bit of everything and combines original and expressive. Enjoy the creativity of this artist, who will inspire insurance.
