Benjamin Casiano (born in 1966, New York City) – Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) | Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY.
“Recognized for a signature “Neo-Pop Cubist” style, my work fuses the geometric abstraction of modern masters with bold, contemporary expressionism. Central to my practice is the “one-eyed” figure—a motif that evolved from a symbolic alter ego into a reflection of my personal identity following a permanent loss of vision. My paintings often pay tribute to classical music and the strength of women through bold, singular perspectives.”
