The Skinny
Born Bleziri Prince Benjamin, LE SKINNY is an artist from Côte d'Ivoire who has chosen to make synesthesia his artistic identity. For him, art is a total experience: each pictorial work is inseparable from a musical composition, creating a multisensory immersion where image and sound echo each other to leave a lasting impression in the viewer's memory.
Having trained at the Abidjan Artistic Education High School (artistic baccalaureate), he continued his studies at INSAAC, where he specialized in both Fine Arts and the National Conservatory of Music. This dual training nurtures his transversal approach, where painting and music become two sides of the same language.
His career then expanded in China and Tunisia, where he studied architecture and spatial design. This openness gives him a panoramic vision, capable of combining beauty with utility, and of embedding his work within a global aesthetic.
Through digital iconography, mixed media, and painting, LE SKINNY creates works that are not merely seen: they are lived, listened to, and felt. His synesthetic approach makes him a creator of immersive experiences, where art becomes a bridge between senses and universal emotions.
