Benjamin Sabatier Artworks for Sale

Concept

After my Master in Law, I have traveled from Vietnam to France by land and started painting on the mid-way, in India. Since, I represent different ideas with some provokative ideas and underline philosophies through images. My inspiration comes from the religions I call "collective imaginations". And I add my own individual imagination because I don't want a "holier than thou" energy. In facts, I prefer to show how imperfect, even troublesome, disturbed, I can be... In order to let nothing hidden. Then, I can only be harmless, or even gentle, very friendly. Painting is a way for me to exorcise some demons. Therefore, if you find some paintings dark, you can expect me to be very friendly, almost childish ! If you find some paintings crazy, you can find me ironically sane and respectful. But if you find goody goody paintings, you may worry about what I'm up to ! Haha ;) Hope I will make you travel through my art.

Biography

I have done my Bachelor in Law in France, then my Master in Law in Canada then Vietnam.

I have done my Bachelor in Law in France, then my Master in Law in Canada then Vietnam.
I did drawings since I'm a child, but I left it aside for more sport, especially martial arts (karate shorin ryu, black belt 1st dan) and my academical studies.

I was about to follow a road full of prestige and respectability but discovered a more adventurous lifestyle through my travels.

The more I have traveled, the more I understood I haven't got it all about life yet, and probably will never seize it totally.

It was in the end of a party, by accident, that I started painting in India.

I have left the hippies then to make my own inner journey, between the order of the Law school and the chaos of my travel by land from Vietnam to France.

Once back home, I have hesitated so much with going back to a more formal life, through work in international organizations... Anything related to my Law studies.

But the call for art was too strong. In creativity I have felt a total freedom and now I find a way to often link it with my intellectual background.

Therefore, I write novels as well, aside of an essay about religions I have written as well.

Understanding that each part of the globe thinks holding some universal truth made me wonder if we were not just all wrong.
Enjoying to be in the wrong, I still remembered the words of a Kashmiri sufi "Let's enjoy the question" and kept searching through art, between the provoke and confusion created in order to make think, and the simple, pure and genuine love I want to express to the people I have encountered in my life around the World.

Now, the goal is quite broad and clear at the same time, to leave different canvases around the world, like marks of my journeys witnessing where I can pass by, or may pass by in the future.

To conclude, I am happy from my basement in Bangkok right now to ship paintings all around the World despite having left some behind me in Vietnam and in Egypt.
