Benjamín Arenas was born in Araure, Venezuela, in 1965. A self-taught visual artist and artisan, he has explored surrealism since childhood, developing a unique style that fuses geometry, symbolism, and handcrafted techniques.
Over the years, his work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and cultural events, earning recognition and awards for its originality and expressive power. His pieces — playful, introspective, and spiritually charged — reflect both technical mastery and personal identity.
Benjamín continues to create meaningful artworks and artisanal objects, and is recognized as one of the most respected and established artists in his region. In honor of his legacy, a permanent exhibition space bears his name at the Casa de la Cultura Carlos Gauna, in Acarigua-Araure.
