Benanteur's prints and paintings are neither figurative nor abstract, as it is rooted in some elements of nature, which the artist may have observed, felt or even heard. Yet he only uses fractions of mountains, landscapes, skies or seas which are engraved in his memory in order to create these stunning paintings which purposely dazzles the viewer and invites him to share the Algerian painter's nostalgia or any other remembered sensation. Devoid of any historical, folkloric, academic or symbolical reference, Benanteur's paintings are unique in their overwhelming sensual character and in the way this is communicated and experienced by the viewer.
