Meet calypso

Calypso Bené is a London-based, self-taught multidisciplinary artist working across oil painting, sculpture, and installation. Since emerging in 2018, she has built an independent career spanning solo exhibitions in London, Sotogrande, Monaco, and Knightsbridge, appearances at the London Art Fair, and collaborations with global brands including L'Oréal, Dior, Nobu Monte Carlo, Film4, and Channel 4.

Her work is known for its dreamlike, visceral portraiture, a tension between controlled realism and raw, expressive mark-making that speaks to memory, intimacy, and emotional residue.

She now creates bespoke work for interior designers, hospitality brands, and private clients, alongside continuing her personal fine art practice. Her work is shaped as much by lived experience as by technique, a rawness that comes through in every piece.
