About the Artwork

    An up-close take on the redhead cousin of the banana tree

    Unlike the traditional banana plant, the Abyssinian banana is grown primarily for ornamentation rather than for its fruit. Even with green leaves, the red center vein is its beauty mark. 

    The use of vibrant green tones contrasted with darker shades creates an organic balance. Subtle highlights of yellow lend warmth, while defined textures evoke tranquility. The carefully layered strokes convey the stillness and beauty of nature, evoking a sense of calm and serenity.

    Benedict Serrano
    Bacoor City, Philippines

    Benedict has 5 artworks,
    and is available for
    commissioned work.

    After surviving a near-fatal bout with pneumonia, John Benedict decided to start painting, wanting to have a tangible legacy. But that is not to say he has never expressed his artistic creativity earlier. The urge to “create” has been a constant feeling he had, even before the onset of puberty.

    He is a fan of visual arts and design. From fashion to architecture, from furniture design to fine arts, these interrelated fields inspire him and fuel his creative genes.  

    His work has no agenda. It doesn’t try to be edgy, and it has no underlying or profound message about societal issues or the current mood of the public. What his work wishes to achieve is to bring its observer to a familiar place--one that is inviting, pleasant, and charismatic. Its purpose is to make a space a little more livable by elevating the overall mood. His subjects are mainly plant life and nature in general, mostly painted on large-size canvases.
