What story would you want him to depict?



Why is it abstract?
It's important to know and appreciate the reason that Life Paths Art is abstract. It is abstract simply because thoughts and feelings cannot be accurately depicted through images of the external, visible world. As Wassily Kandinsky described in Concerning the Spiritual in Art, to effectively portray our inner reality, we must employ elements that symbolize our thoughts and feelings. These elements are pure lines, shapes, colors, and textures.

  Simple Examples

line
line
line
A smooth, flowing line that represents a happy, carefree attitude and rhythm. It also resembles handwriting.
A geometric design that connotes mathematical thinking, logic, and systematic construction. Very intellectual.
A wild and crazy line that has some parts that seem to express anger and other parts that express playfulness. Quite confusing.

Can Your Life Paths Painting Be a Portrait?
Yes, it can. Actually, I've done more portraits than anything else.
Here's all you have to do:


First: Simply sketch a single line. Your line is personal to you -- unique just like a signature or fingerprint.

Second: You select your favorite colors.

Third: Your autobiographical line and chosen colors will then be incorporated into a truly remarkable and personalized work of art!

Alongside your painting, you will also receive a certificate of authenticity, as well as the artist's written guide on how to interpret your Life Paths portrait and effectively utilize it for visualization and meditation.

Embrace the unique experience of collaborating with this talented artist to bring your vision to life. Through thoughtful conversations combined with artistic expertise, James Bennett will create a masterpiece that resonates with your individuality.

Additionally, he has prepared a comprehensive guide that will assist you in exploring the deeper meaning behind your Life Paths painting, enabling you to explain it to others.

By utilizing lines, shapes, colors, and patterns, Life Paths Art externalizes internal feelings and thoughts, facilitating deeper introspection and self-awareness.

The artist will
guide you through this artistic process, ensuring that your final piece becomes a cherished symbol of your unique life's journey.

The line in this client's original drawing appears to alternate between smooth and ragged sections. This indicates smooth and rough parts in his life. The red line shows emotions that are up and down; however, the blue and green lines show that he can rely on his strong intellect and excellent physical health as anchors. His wonderful, outgoing sense of humor is a great strength which helps him in times of trouble.

The line that this client drew begins with a free flowing fluidity that indicates a life full of success and happiness. However, in the bottom half of the picture the line becomes more complicated and twisting and even turns back on itself. This is truly autobiographical because the client has had a lot of success and is currently dealing with troubling issues. My painting shows a bright outcome because of her emotional resilience and strength.

In this Life Paths painting the client’s line shows two pointed loops. These indicate that the subject has many interests and tends to swing from one thing to another. However, this is not entirely bad because the subject keeps these varied interests in balance and bring him great satisfaction.

This painting also incorporates an additional element – a vertical strip with cryptic lettering that appears to be ancient and mysterious. These letters spell out the client’s name.

Who Is Bennecelli?

Bennecelli (James Bennett) has devoted himself to a multifaceted art career spanning some six decades. He has  studied with several internationally acclaimed artists, has been honored with numerous accolades and awards, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts from prestigious universities, and worked as a self-employed artist and teacher of both adults and children. He is highly skilled in a wide variety of media and genre including oil and pastel portraiture, acrylic painting, and calligraphy.


Bennecelli has authored and illustrated several books on calligraphy and handwriting which include a six-volume curriculum on italic handwriting for grades K – 4. Subsequently, he researched the psychological interpretation of handwriting. In addition, he studied, in depth, the dynamics of lines and shapes in art as detailed in the writings of Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky.

In 2020, inspired by a dream, Bennecelli began creating his beautiful, transcendental “Luminous Streams” art series. In 2022, he invited about a dozen friends to participate in the creation of new paintings in the series -- each person drawing a line from which Bennecelli created an abstract painting. The initial idea was simply to experiment in creating new and different designs. However, much to Bennecelli’s surprise it became apparent to his discerning eye that these paintings were profoundly autobiographical of the people who drew the first lines. And thus, Life Paths Art was born.

Not only is Bennecelli an extremely talented artist, but he is also gifted with the ability to interpret in detail the initial line that a client draws. In addition, he can discern through the three lines he adds to the composition, insights gathered from his subconscious, further revealing key facets of the client's life.

Today, Bennecelli has perfected the technique of painting and interpreting these autobiographical works of art. They are true revelations of the client's true life's path.
