    "To reclaim myth and ancestral memory through primitive figures and textures where matter takes on a mystical prominence"

    Jose Benito
    Artist statement

    Objects that hold memory, texture and origin.

    José Benito (Córdoba, 1952) is a prominent figure in contemporary art. Through painting, relief, and sculpture, he has developed a unique iconography inspired by pre- Columbian cultures, totems, and the mystery of the human condition. With a career spanning decades of exhibitions in galleries and art fairs across the Americas and Europe, his work stands out for its poetic use of polychrome wood, collage, and dense textures.

    The material always speaks first.

    Process

    The hand behind the piece.

    Each piece begins with long observation: the wood, the clay, the texture of the day. Tools stay simple, time stays generous. The studio is where intuition meets discipline, and where every object is shaped one decision at a time.
