One artist.
Every surface.
Bini Arts is the studio of Binyamin “Bini”, a Dubai-based artist working in charcoal, acrylic, murals, hand-painted leather and live performance at events.
Hi, I’m Bini. I turn canvases, walls, leather and live crowds into portraits and stories.
I’ve worked as an artist in Dubai since 2019, specialising in realism and custom artwork. My work moves between quiet, detailed charcoal portraits and large, loud murals, and I spend a lot of time drawing in front of an audience at events.
Before art became my career I trained as a civil engineer, and that discipline still shows in how I plan a piece: careful sketches, the right materials for colour, texture and strength, and a finish that lasts. More recently I hand-painted bespoke luxury bags and luggage for Vonto Dubai.
Portraits in monochrome
Detailed charcoal and graphite portraits that capture the depth of a face: weathered hands, a child’s stare, a family likeness. Commissioned from photographs and delivered framed.
Bold, layered colour
Vibrant, textured acrylic work: portraits, wildlife and expressive compositions, plus experiments with unexpected materials like rope on a woven palm mat.
“With every stroke and sketch, I aim to bring imagination to life.”
Art at architectural scale
Large-scale murals that change how a space feels: street walls, gyms, cafés and brand activations, from 3D wall-breaks to graffiti lettering.
ICC Champions Trophy mural for DP World
A full shipping container turned into a single canvas, celebrating cricket, culture and creativity in a vibrant, high-energy composition.
Wearable, one-of-one art
Hand-painted duffels, totes, luggage and sneakers. Each piece is designed around its owner: their car, their pets, their passions, their initials.
Bag customisation artist for a luxury leather house
At Vonto Dubai I developed custom concepts with clients, prepared detailed sketches and painted directly onto premium leather goods, matching every piece to the brand’s luxury finish.
- Concept & sketch developed with each client
- Hand-painted with flexible, leather-safe paints
- Personalised details: monograms, cars, pets, places
In the wild
Finished pieces photographed on location.
Custom sneakers
Air Force 1s reworked with calligraphy, drips, and hand-painted details.
Drawn on the spot
Quick, expressive art made in front of guests: caricatures, Arabic name calligraphy and live painting. Guests leave with a personal souvenir, and the drawing itself becomes part of the entertainment.
Live caricature
Malls, festivals, corporate events and private parties. Black-and-white or full colour.
Live Arabic calligraphy
Guests’ names written in Arabic calligraphy as personalised keepsakes, including at Eid Al Etihad celebrations.
Live painting
Weddings, beach clubs and public spaces: the event captured on canvas while it happens.
Your wedding, painted live
I set up my easel at the venue and paint the ceremony as it unfolds: the décor, the stage, the couple. By the end of the night the finished canvas is presented to the newlyweds, a one-of-a-kind keepsake of their day.
