Benjamin Mitchley

Benjamin Mitchley is a South African artist born in 1967 who studied fine arts at the Vaal Triangle Technicon and Pretoria Technicon. His creative practice bridges the gap between photography and painting, often drawing inspiration from Impressionist styles to capture everyday life. He frequently uses his camera as a tool to inform his work on canvas, viewing the viewfinder as a frame for his artistic vision. His diverse portfolio includes murals, sculptures, and illustration, heavily influenced by his extensive travels and experiences working in Dubai and South Africa.
