​​"When I created the first of this series, a friend commented on the watery aspects of the painting. He described it as Damascus steel and at that moment, I knew what the series should be called. Since I was a young child, I have been enthralled by the craftsmanship and skills of blacksmiths and steelmakers. Films and literature, like “Conan the Barbarian” and Jean Auels’ “Earthchildren” series dealt with fire and water as catalysts in tool and weapon making. The Damascus Steel series is my vision of that moment of creation, when the fires and the water form the steel and in a sense life itself." - benMUSA


​From Wikipedia: Damascus steel, also known as "Damascened steel" and sometimes "watered steel." Damascus steel shows complex patterns on the surface, which are the result of internal structural elements in the steel. These patterns are the result of the unique forging methods. Recent research into the structure and composition of true damascus steel by a Dresden scientist has revealed that the almost mythical sharpness and strength of the steel was a result of carbon nanotubes and carbide nanowires present in the structure of the forged metal—the secret of which forging method was lost around 1800 A.D.

What Clients Are Saying

I bought one of benMUSA’s original pieces. Fell in love with it in the
​catalog, and absolutely adored it when it arrived. It’s one of the most amazingly beautiful original pieces I’ve ever seen. The photograph does NOT do it justice. It’s opulent. It’s brilliant. It’s got depth like few artists are able to convey. ...and it’s all mine! I love it. That’s the art. With respect to the business, the purchase was straight forward and simple. I got the piece within a few days, and have been utterly satisfied with it as well as it’s presentation. High quality, professional art from an extremely talented artist! Will be buying more!
