bencini


"Lyrical impulses inspire successive compositions of images that are not entirely planned, and had previously surfaced in the author’s vigilant awareness through a “chemical process” based on a wise experimentation with multiple techniques. This could be a descriptive synthesis of Bencini ́s painting. A “chemical” and artistic process based on the “game”, on “creating by psychic automatism” in the existential realm and where even numbers and signs from his formative imprint cannot feature. Based on the existential and psychic automatism where even numbers and signs from his formative imprint can feature. 

The temporary union raises particular interest, almost in witness to the author’s journey through a passage onto others and continuing into infinity. s it a journey into abstraction, or the search for ever more evanescent figures and therefore more and more freely recognizable imaginary, even by others? A more cryptic artwork, or a more increasingly open dialogue with those who pass the baton?

An artistic and existential journey, that of Bencini, made first of “memory fragments” and then of “fragments of increasingly labile memories “, onto the primal creative magma, beyond the confines defined by the author and painting into infinity, which Bencini seems to establish for future works, when he make reference to Monet’s Waterlilies en la Orangerie de Paris. Rercensione/Critical synthesis / fragments of memories." --Marcello Gentilini

 

Bencini was born in Siena on May 5, 1972. The artist spent the first thirty years of his life in Tuscany, in the heart of the Sienese countryside. He obtained his diploma from the Istituto d’Arte “Duccio Boninsegna” of Siena, specializing in painting, and, a few years later, he graduated in scenography at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze (Academy of Art of Florence). Since 1996, he has been working in Florence and Northern Italy as a restorer and as painter, experimenting different painting techniques on a large variety of materials. During these years of research and refinement of his artistic identity, he carried out important works such as the paintings of towers and buildings in San Gimignano, the one of the Castello Guelfo in Padova, and palaces owned by the Emir in Kuwait and in Dubai. Since 2005, he has been exhibiting in major art galleries. These days, he works between Tuscany and Barcelona.
