Born in Shrewsbury (Shropshire) in 1985, Davies showed an interest in drawing and painting. His life circulated around music, art and skateboarding in his teenage years. He spent a lot of time doing these three things which opened his eyes to expressionism.

Never having had the confidence to go to university and study art, Benjamin is self-taught and at present exploring the possibilities of charcoal on paper to capture the feeling and mood of the situation.

With a wide range of influences including Picasso, Dumas, Basquiat and Bacon, Davies approaches the moods and feelings of everyday life by using his fingers as much if not more than a brush.

This tendency brings out the emotion in his work and allows him to communicate what he is feeling or thinking at the time of creation.
