Ben Heine on Instagram


I'm finally on Instagram: www.instagram.com/benheineart I hope you can join me there too! I plan to post more personal photos (but still creative) on my Instagram account. Coming soon.



A selection of Pencil Vs Camera Limited Edition Prints were exhibited at the Brussels Accessible Art Fair from the 21st till the 23rd of September 2012. I attended the vernissage with customized shirt, trouser, hat and shoes... I drew the designs on my clothes with black markers, I used some 25 markers in total, haha! Many thanks to Martin VW for his help during the fair, to the organizer Stephanie Manasseh and to Rolando, the person who took some of the photos in this album. More information about my limited Edition Prints (Diasec and Dibond finishing) can be found here. You can also view the following album on Facebook and find some other reports of my past exhibitions at this link.

Music, music, music... Here is a bird with some electronic power! I took the pic and made the sketch as usual. I was sitting outside of a restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal. Several birds came and moved from one chair to another hoping to draw my attention to receive some food (I gave them all my bread, lol). If you wish, you can also view the sketch in progress and some preparatory photos HERE... See the whole "Pencil Vs Camera" album.

I've just found some old photos from my childhood and I just couldn't resist sharing them. Sorry for the rather poor image quality, all these pics were taken in the eighties.

Even when life is hard, friendship is always somewhere. Harmony in perfect duos never ends. It's precious. These are photos I recently took while I was walking in the streets of Sousse, in Tunisia.

I started walking the Pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela ("Way of St. James") in Puente la Reina the 7th of August 2011 and I arrived in Santiago (Galicia, Spain) the 27th of August. I followed the official camino in Logrono. All together, I walked more than 650 km. The landscapes I discovered were breathtaking and changing everyday. I met crazy people on the way. People with a great soul. I took photos every minute. I'll share the best of them shortly. I did this walk for spiritual reasons only and because I needed a break to think about my future.

The Way of St. James has existed for over a thousand years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times, together with Rome and Jerusalem. Here below is the "Compostela", a certificate of accomplishment given to pilgrims on completing the Way. I received it when I arrived at the Cathedral of Santiago. It's in Latin! Call me "Beniaminum" from now on! :)

We just came back from a great 3 days trip in Northern and Central Italy. We visited Venice, Rimini, Florence, Bologna, Forli, Faenza and Cesena. Many thanks to our guides and friends HEESUN and PAOLO. I'll share many artistic photos in the coming weeks.
