Pablo Benzo - Overview | Kristin Hjellegjerde

Pablo Benzo (b. 1982, Santiago, Chile) is a Berlin-based painter whose paintings draw on fragments of remembered and imagined imagery, forming carefully constructed arrangements using contrasting colour combinations. His practice centres on both composition and surface, bringing together interior objects to create surreal spaces.
