Dinho Bento
About
Dinho Bento is a Brazilian artist residing in Ottawa. Active in street art since 2005, he has worked on dozens of artistic projects in several countries. Dinho was born in a small town in Brazil. Since childhood, he had a deep connection with the culture and nature of the countryside. Later, this connection, combined with his training as an artist, led him to use, symbolically, the elements of nature and the human figure as the main starting points for discussing different themes. His approaches range from environmental discussions to deeper issues involving his feelings and spirituality. Thus, he seeks to expose his stimuli in an unconventional way in his paintings.
In Dinho's universe, everything is interconnected as part of a larger system. His works are generally associated with the different feelings and experiences he lives and observes in the world. Generally, he presents the human figure integrated with other organic elements, reasserting our species as a part directly connected to nature.
Thus, he presents his creations in a light, reflective and contemplative way, even when addressing more sensitive and delicate themes.
