Nicolas Le Beuan Bénic captures his knowledge of botany in a painting and photography where plants are the main source of inspiration.

He likes to discover the essence of the structure of a plant.

The visual art of this spontaneous and epicurean artist have the same effect as visiting a botanical garden. A minimal and peaceful atmosphere that we embrace thanks to végétal simplicity.

Experiment continuously. Practice a figuration, sometimes tending toward abstraction. Employs a very soft palette in touch with three major color, the green of course, a deep red and a lot of différents whites.

His artwork navigate between figuration and abstraction. Like Matisse or Ellsworth Kelly drawing, he search the simplicity of nature alive. This is not botanical perfection which attracts Nicolas but instead plants accidents: this leaf weakened more than another or flowers who are never really symmetrical.

Each garden is for him a true museum of modern art. "Painting and photography are my enjoyment of happiness.

It keep me in present time, a time of contemplation.» 
It retrieves the illumination of the ordinaries days. his quest and his work are to discover the wonder in a daily botanical life.
