The Neo Cave drawings are made by Andrea Benetti on a particular medium, which the Master creates by transforming a raw paper with various treatments and using many natural substances, until the "Carta di Montesanto". The name was given by the Master, inspired by the small town, located in the province of Ferrara, where he designed and created it for the first time. The drawings are made with charcoal, sanguine, chalk white and sepia. The themes of portraits sometimes borrow the subjects painted by prehistoric man, or transfigure and reinvent them by creating a neo-symbolism inspired by the Cave painting. The drawings are placed between two sheets of Plexiglas, joined by seven studs in satin silver, in order to emulate, in the artist's mind game, a fantastic archaeological apocryphal.

Queste opere nascono per ricordare concretamente al mondo dell'arte contemporanea, semmai ve ne fosse bisogno, che gli stilemi pittorici dell'astrattismo, del figurativo, del simbolismo, almeno nella loro fase embrionale, furono concepiti dall'uomo preistorico nelle caverne di buona parte del mondo. Le forme geometriche presenti nelle pitture rupestri, i simboli studiati e codificati da André Leroi Gourhan, sono rivisti, trasfigurati, idealizzati, sognati, inventati nelle opere di Andrea Benetti, per rendere omaggio alle origini dell'astrattismo, grazie alla nuova tecnica, che ha ideato.
