The artist Ben Heine has been creating collages for a long time and with great pleasure, in which pencil drawing is skillfully woven into glossy photographs. The Pencil vs. Camera collection grows day by day, and with it the fame of the illustrator.
Ben Heine was born in the Ivory Coast and lived there for 7 years with his parents and three sisters. Moreover, none of the family had an art education. The boy's father was an engineer, and his mother was a dance teacher. And Ben Heine himself did not show interest in drawing. Everything changed in 1990 when the family moved to Brussels. It was there that the boy realized that his love for school can be expressed not only by truancy (which local teachers successfully fought with), but in the form of a drawing. Ben Heine began to express his feelings and emotions through a pencil. In addition, the teenager played the guitar, piano, wrote poetry and even joined a basketball club. But the love of art won.
As a result, the world received one of the most interesting artists of our time and a lot of paintings, where a photographic frame smoothly flows into a pencil drawing and vice versa. By the way, we have already familiarized our readers with examples of similar works by Ben Heine. Let's hope that the name of the illustrator and his work will appear on the pages of our site more than once.
