Artwork by Benoit Havard8 Artworks
Benoit Havard
Born in 1981 in Orléans, France, Benoît Havard began drawing and painting at the age of six. As a child, his mother used to take him to art galleries and museums where he was drawn to energetic works, such as those by the French landscape painter Michel Jouenne.
In 1998, he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts de Cherbourg, where Lejeune and Valadié became his teachers. By the age of 19, Benoît was painting full-time, first exploring watercolours on trips to Morocco and eventually settling into working with oils and a palette knife.
Today, Benoît creates dreamy, luminescent urban landscapes that radiate warmth and energy. The artist draws his inspiration from his travels, and photographs urban scenes from which he draws out all their emotional power- it is "the idea of bringing the subject into my own world," he explains.
Since 2004, Benoît has been exhibiting his work in several galleries across Europe, and has been the guest of honour of many distinguished exhibitions. His artworks can be found in notable private collections, including that of Louis Vuitton.
