My name is Beni. I’m a Swiss painter simply trying to understand the world a little better by placing colors somewhere. My work grows out of what surrounds us, a passing light, a lingering shadow, a fragment of street that tells more than it seems. I observe, I try to capture, and sometimes a canvas emerges.

I’m sensitive to contrasts, to the way nature and the city coexist, almost in spite of themselves. Worn walls, colors that endure, signs we think we recognize: all of it eventually finds its way into my work. A drip is just a word that slips, a texture a sentence that hesitates. It’s an imperfect language, but I hope it remains open enough for everyone to find their own meaning.

To create is to share a way of seeing, without imposing my own.
