Benedict Kerbl
His works are united by a passion for minimalism and clarity of focus. At the same time, an explosive energy deliberately breaks boundaries and tells the stories of life. The layered nature of his art, combined with his written spoken words, brings the works to life and opens space for deep reflection within the viewer. Benedict’s creative process has neither a beginning nor an end and rarely follows a planned or structured path. He allows himself to drift, works in a state of flow, and rarely overthinks. Ideas emerge while painting or take shape in his mind as clear inner images—what he himself calls “blueprints from heaven.” Driven by sudden impulses and spontaneous decision-making, he shapes his art in many different ways. Above all, he is guided by his faith, his visionary thinking, his inner vision, his hunger for more, and his heartfelt mission. His works are united by a passion for minimalism and clarity of focus.

His work raises profound questions, connects different worlds, and pursues a longing for unity. It invites reflection and creates, in many ways, a space of freedom. Benedict’s art encourages viewers to make more of their own lives, to transcend boundaries, and to break through familiar patterns of thought. Spoken words and design run through his practice like fine lines: words become sound and find their place as audio elements within individual works, while writing opens new spaces for the canvas. Working with design on multiple levels offers him experience and, at the same time, a conscious distance from his free art— a shift between purpose-driven focus and openness, from which a vibrant and healthy balance emerges.
