Ben Gijsemans is a Belgian freelance animator, illustrator and comic artist. He gained praise with his groundbreaking graphic novels 'Hubert' and 'Aaron' (2020); both delicate portraits of characters with deep, inner struggles who take refuge in escapism to make their lives manageable. Ben Gijsemans was born in 1989 in Lier. Unlike most graphic novelists, his background is not rooted in comics culture. Instead, he gets most of his inspiration from paintings, films, literature and fine arts, resulting in his highly original approach to the comics medium. In terms of graphic art and visual storytelling, Winsor McCay, Joost Swarte and Charlie Chaplin are important influences. Gijsemans also enjoys the works of the graphic novelists Chris Ware, Olivier Schrauwen, Simon Hanselmann, Brecht Evens, Jeroen Janssen and Cyril Pedrosa. He obtained his Master's degree in Audiovisual Arts from the Ghent School of Arts in 2012. He then spent another year at the Sint-Lukas School of Arts in Brussels, receiving his Master in Comic Art in 2013.
