Antonio Benjamin

A native of San Francisco born in 1981, Antonio Benjamin has been a studio artist at Creativity Explored since 2005.

Traditional media such as colored pencils, acrylic, and ink appeal to Benjamin because he likes to have a large array of colors to work with. Increasingly though, he is demonstrating an interest and talent for digital artwork. The prints that he produces illustrate experiments in scale and repetition for aesthetically interesting results. In both digital and traditional media, Benjamin often depicts African American people and churches, reflecting his community and culture. Flashing his trademark bright smile, he says this subject matter is important and inspiring to him “because of our history.”
