Driven by passion and a desire to express the complexities of modern life, Massimo paints daily, using his work as an outlet for the frustrations and challenges he encounters or observes in society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His unique style combines cubism and figurative elements, enriched with modernist symbolism. Bold, pure colors and dynamic stripes bring a sense of cheerfulness and vibrancy to his paintings, encouraging optimism and belief in humanity\u2019s strength to build a tolerant world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9004111228698132 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/subtile.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ac6f0047-2601-414b-bdb3-0cb4e9e401de-2.jpg\" alt=\"Massimo Beni painting\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massimo\u2019s art often features playful elements, generous forms, retro atmospheres, and symbolic objects, all infused with a touch of humor. These motifs create engaging narratives that invite viewers to explore both the visual and deeper meaning behind each piece.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a life story that contrasts sharply with the stereotypical image of an artist, Massimo\u2019s work reflects a meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant spontaneity of creative expression. His paintings offer not just visual appeal but also rich stories and social commentary, making his work a compelling experience for art lovers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>As a young student working in the gallery, Zo\u00e9 has interviewed Massimo during the summer 2024\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: How long does it take to make a painting?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends. The time it takes to make a painting always depend on how you start the painting. It depends on the base; if I put a dry or greasy base, if I want it to dry or if I mix it with other colors. A painting can take a month or years to make. But, for example, I can make an acrylic painting in one day. Drawings take a few minutes, especially if I work on a model, you don\u2019t want him to get a cramp. The one that took me the longest is \u201cThe Gardener\u201d. I started in 2018 and just finished it now, in 2024. I thought again and reworked it so many times. You have to know when to say stop \u2013 and I said it 3 times with this one \u2013 but you also shouldn\u2019t be afraid of re-working a painting either. I consider it finished when it is signed. Well, again, it is not always the case, for example, \u201cThe Bedbug\u201d still in progressed was signed but at the end I realised I must improve it so I worked on it even if it was signed.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9004111228698133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9004111228698133\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9004111228698133\" src=\"https:\/\/subtile.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20240813_110117-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9004111228698133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Gardener<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9004111228698134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9004111228698134\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9004111228698134\" src=\"https:\/\/subtile.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20240813_110159-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9004111228698134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Etude<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9004111228698135\" src=\"https:\/\/subtile.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20240813_110312-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: How would you defined your style?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0It is a panache of style, everything that has been done in the 20<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century, all remixed and out together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Q: Is there no problem for you to sell a painting and see it go forever?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course it is complicated for some.
