Benjamin Heine’s Summary

I'm a Belgian painter, illustrator, portraitist, caricaturist and photographer. I’m looking for a long term job opportunity in the digital art industry. If you have any serious offers, please contact me here : heinebenjamin@hotmail.com

I studied graphic arts and sculpture and I also have a degree in journalism. I've studied in England (Hastings), Belgium (Brussels) and Holland (Utrecht). I have 8 years of professional experience as a graphic creator. I speak fluently French, English, Dutch and a bit of Polish, Spanish and Russian.

I was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast in 1983. I currently live and work in Brussels.

I have collaborated with several printed magazines and papers, such as ‘La Libre Belgique’ (Belgium), ‘European Voice’ (Belgium), 'Rolling Stone' (Germany), 'Shambala Sun' (USA), ‘Acque & Terre’ (Italia), ‘Le Monde Diplomatique’, Polish edition (Poland), ‘Zaman’ (Turkey), ‘The Copenhagen Post’ (Denmark), ‘Yeni Akrep‘ (Turkey), ‘Gavroche’ (Thailand), ‘Europa In De Wereld’ (Holland), ‘Eurobservateur’ (Belgium), ‘Imagine Demain le Monde’ (Belgium), ‘Pulse’ (Great Britain), ‘Fucid bulletin’ (Belgium), ‘Arabad’ (Lebanon), ‘As-Safir’ (Lebanon)...

My creations have frequently appeared on renowned online references, such as: ‘Cafe Babel’, ‘Feco’, ‘Wikipedia’, ‘New American Dream’, ‘ffffound‘, ‘Picame Mag’, ‘Framtiden’, ‘Don Quichotte’, ‘Rebelion’, ‘Brazilcartoon’, ‘ Palestine Think Tank’, CounterPunch, ‘Tlaxcala’, ‘Djibnet’, ‘Media With Conscience’, ‘The peoples Voice’, ‘Point.e’, ‘Le Grand Soir Info’, ‘Axis of Logic’, ‘Planete Non Violence’, MWC, ‘Concorde’, ‘Flesh and Stone’, ‘Zikison’...

In my painting, I've been deeply influenced by German Expressionism, Belgian Surrealism, American Pop Art and Social Realism.

So far, I've exhibited my creations in Belgium, Great Britain, Romania, France, Canada, USA, Germany, Brazil, Spain and Palestine.

I've also participated in different art events, festivals and workshops in Belgium and abroad.
