Movement: Abstract Expressionism and Cubism
Benjamin Casiano is originally an art director/graphic designer by profession but always painted throughout his entire life. His style has gone from photorealism to cubism but it was the abstract expressionist movement that had the most profound effect on where his prolific work
is today.
Currently painting in acrylics on canvas and mix medium, he minimize
the amount of color predominating the variation of form making his work largely confine to a periphery motif. Using geometric form, abstract takes a monochromic effect with loose brushstroke technique that creates a form of expressionism.
Constantly utilizes & imparts tones with rich textures, he creates a intense definition. By doing so he improves & refines his minimalistic approach, executing with a meticulous eye, balancing a dramatic presence beyond it's initial appearance. This approach takes his amorphous shape in a coalesce of a portal that becomes a metaphor to his subconscious of love, passion & mystery.
