Sandra Benson

My current body of work is rooted in portraiture, with a strong focus on emotional resonance, identity, and storytelling. I use a multimedia approach that blends traditional and expressive brushwork with layered color fields—creating depth and nuance through gesture rather than digital compositing. Themes of memory, transformation, and cultural legacy recur throughout the portfolio, often expressed through subtle symbolism and expressive figuration. Technically, to promote my work, I rely on both analog tools and digital platforms, moving fluidly between sketch, paint, and software to explore the tension between permanence and ephemerality. Each piece is designed to invite reflection, offering the viewer a space to encounter familiar human experiences through a new visual language.
