Harbors of reality
Welcome to Harbors of Reality, a collection that navigates the intersection between the perceived and the imagined through the lens of surrealism. Surrealist photographer Benoît Theunissen invites you to explore these visual landscapes where forms and impressions converge and diverge in a dance of abstraction. Each piece is a gateway to a new reality, where what is familiar is reinterpreted and what is intangible takes shape.
Benoît employs a unique technique that blends photography-based textures, multiple layering, and digital painting. This approach creates richly textured compositions that evoke fleeting moments of clarity within the complexity of human perception. Harbors of Reality explores the spaces where our grasp of reality is momentarily suspended, offering viewers a glimpse into surreal worlds shaped by light, texture, and emotion.
Through this collection, Benoît aims to provide a reflective space for the audience, where each viewing reveals a new facet, a fresh interpretation of the blurred lines between the real and the surreal. Embark on this journey, where the harbors of reality stand as points of departure for the mind's voyage into the unknown.
