In this episode of Peace & Good Wealth, Loy Carlos sits down with German artist Ruben Benjamin for a conversation on perception, curiosity, material, and the importance of physical experience in an increasingly digital world.
Working at the intersection of painting, sculpture, texture, and atmosphere, Benjamin creates works that shift dramatically between distance and proximity- surfaces that appear almost digital from afar, yet reveal deeply physical layers of pigment, erosion, and materiality up close. Together, they explore the relationship between engineering and creativity, the discipline behind artistic process, and why nature continues to inspire even in an era dominated by screens.
