Besides photography, Benjamin is also a digital artist, illustrator, and graphic designer with a deep passion for visual storytelling. As he shared, Benjamin’s artwork spans from photography to digital creations, often blending realism with abstraction. “I have a background in graphic design and a strong appreciation for minimalism, which is reflected in my art.”

All of his work conveys a sense of mystery and serenity with just a few elements—often including cats, clouds, the moon, and trees—proving that less can be more.

Bored Panda reached out to Benjamin, to learn more about his creations. He shared what initially drew him into the world of photography.

“Photography has always fascinated me because it captures moments that might otherwise be lost. I love the way light, shadows, and composition can turn a simple scene into something profound. Over time, I started blending photography with digital art, allowing me to push creative boundaries even further.”

    Benjamin’s art feels calm and balanced. We wondered how he manages to create this feeling with just a few elements.

    He wrote: “I focus on composition, negative space, and subtle color contrasts to evoke a sense of harmony. Every element in my work has a purpose—there’s no excess. By stripping away distractions, I aim to create images that feel timeless and meditative.”

    Benjamin also shared whether there is an especially meaningful artwork to him.

    “Yes, there’s one piece that stands out to me—a lone tree against a vast, foggy landscape. It represents solitude but also resilience. I created it during a time of deep self-reflection, and it reminds me how simplicity can carry powerful emotions.”

    Nature plays a big role in Benjamin’s art. We asked him why he thinks that these calm themes are important, especially in today’s busy world.

    He replied: “We live in an overstimulated world, constantly bombarded with information. I think people are naturally drawn to calm, open spaces as a way to reset. My art serves as a visual breath, offering a quiet moment in a chaotic world.”

    Lastly, Benjamin added: “Art is personal, but it also connects us. If my work makes someone pause, reflect, or feel something, then I've achieved my goal. And for those exploring their own creative paths—keep going, experiment, and let your instincts guide you.”
