THE IDEA OF COMBINING drawings and photography first came to him in 2010. While he was writing a letter. It was a coincidence really, but it couldn’t have been a better one.
In his project “Pencil vs Camera”, multi-disciplinary artist Ben Heine usually focuses on architecture, portraits and animals. And his main themes are those of love and friendship.
It is a stunning mixture of imagination and reality, illusion and surrealism. And you’ll be blown away by his works.
Heine says: “I just make art for people.”
“I want them to dream…”
“… and forget their daily troubles.”
“I used to write poems many years ago.”
“I want to convey a poetic meaning into my pictures.”
“Each new creation should tell a story…”
“… and generate an intense emotion.”
“Like a poem…”
“Like a melody…”
The series has had a huge impact on the design community.
It was the result of a long graphic exploration.
And logical consequences of his artistic evolution…
It may not be all that apparent, but his work isn’t simply a mixture of drawing and photography, but he also adds in elements of poetry and storytelling as well. The result is something that has touched the imaginations of many.
