"My works are usually a reflection of a certain period of time, or reflect a single theme. They are mostly large drawings. a supporting feature for future painting, or technical and scientific illustrations. " Benjamin Schmidt's paintings are multi-layered and not easily decipherable, delicate and mysterious, but also robust and sometimes almost architectural. Sometimes spiced with almost humorous seriousness. Emotionally difficult and at the same time playful, often showing almost philosophical tenderness towards human form and fate. Sometimes grotesque, but always based on a detailed study of the subject and reality. Poetic, even confusing, but in a way familiar, as if coming from a shudder of memory, dream, or ecstasy. The author reveals an awareness that seems to be disappearing in today's world. In his work, archetipal elements meet the emotions of life, and dance in a way that is unpredictable but apt. Mg.A.
