Ben Caillous

After studying 2D animation and earning a bachelor’s degree in art, he worked for several years in studios, notably at graphic design agencies and mobile app studios. However, his desire to devote himself fully to painting never left him.

Developing a unique universe, Ben Caillous creates works in which small characters with orange noses convey positive, intergenerational messages. Influenced by his references in comics and animation, he seeks to express emotions and bring out the “inner child” present in all of us, integrating it into the heart of his artistic approach.

While Ben Caillous primarily paints on canvas, he has also begun exploring murals—a practice that is still new to him but one that particularly fascinates him. He mainly uses brushes and rollers for his murals, setting aside spray paint to maintain a detailed, artisanal style. Constantly evolving, his work highlights the importance of optimism and joy, which he strives to convey through his creations.
