My Name is Ben Komets, born and raised in the wonderful City of Berlin, some people from the internetz know as “white rabbit” I love to paint! I painted for so many years, I ´m like a nerd-dinosaur.. if been here for so long, oh god, when I wrote “Years of Painting: 18” I felt like : 18 years ...wtf … that passed quick. I find so much fun and joy in creating miniature worlds, that I guess I will never stop.. and I already see the next 30years passing like a glance ;)
I would always prefer a good storytelling miniature ,than a technical perfect miniature.The best projects are those where the good execution supports the story . I love a good competition! I am attending painting contests since 10 years by now, I love that day of the battle .. everybody is ready.. many sleepless nights passed … and people try to show the best they can.. but nothing is more important than the people you meet..

I love traveling around the globe, meeting crazy people all over the world... Contest Painting brought me all over the Globe, and I met so many fantastic people I found some good friends. Its amazing how many different people you can meet with in the hobby... I love passionate people.. No matter what you do do it with passion...!! I love what I do..

Also.. I love art, small dogs, good friends, a good drink, a good tea, sunshine, hippies and a fresh breeze.
