Opening of a web shop

| Benfatto

Now that I have graduated from L’école supérieure d’art de Grenoble I am launching new projects and continue to evolve as an artist. I aim to bring beauty to the world, but beauty and art should not be contained to museums and galleries; it should be everywhere! One effective way of doing that (and supporting yours truly) is by selling merchandise. Hence the opening of my first web-shop on Zazzle (more will follow, and I will continue to upload new designs. Feel free to contact me with design suggestions or special commissions!)

So, without further ado, I present you my first item on Zazzle! Be sure to check in regularly for unique gifts!

Film poster for the documentary “Paname”

This documentary made by Panamanian director Daniël Zapateiro examines the French efforts of building the Panama Canal. Led by Ferdinand Lesseps, the project resulted in countless lives lost, bankruptcy and failure. Lesseps was maligned in France by the press, yet in Panama he is seen as a hero whose efforts laid the foundation for a wonder of the industrial revolution and economic pillar of the country.

“Paname” premiered last May, after a two years of preparations in which I played an important part. Among other things, I designed the film poster used to promote this unique historical documentary:
