Benlla Martínez

painting

Benlla Martínez, born in Valencia, Spain in 1979, began his artistic journey in the streets, painting graffiti before delving into academic studies in Fine Arts. Influenced by his background in "fallas" artistry and urban culture, his work explores painting, installation, and video, with a focus on technique and process. Transitioning towards abstraction, Benlla's compositions prioritize reductionism, questioning the essence of painting itself. His "Subtraction" series exemplifies this, using a unique process of layering and removal to create textured, fragmented spaces. Through his innovative approach, Benlla engages in a dialogue between past and present, inviting viewers to explore the essence of painting.
