Benro Adegbenro 

Artist

Benro is a British/Nigerian Artist based in Berlin. Benro started as a filmmaker making experimental films and video art. Five years ago, one life drawing class led him down the path of oil painting, where he discovered the Burnt Sienna Art School. This is where he could learn, study, practice and develop as a painter. Benro says he is "…currently working on a series of paintings that explore African folklore and some of the images created in my head as a child. Painting, for me, is a narrative form to explore certain themes, ideas and beliefs we have in society."
