THE ARTIST
Alejandro Benzaquen
Alejandro Benzaquen is a Venezuelan-born, Miami-based contemporary visual artist whose work explores identity, memory, and belonging through bold imagery and symbolic storytelling.
Rooted in his Venezuelan background and shaped by the experience of diaspora, Benzaquen’s practice draws from personal and collective histories to create work that connects emotionally and culturally across borders. His art often engages with themes of Jewish identity, resilience, nostalgia, and continuity — balancing depth with play, seriousness with humor.
Working across physical artworks, installations, puzzles, and digital media, Benzaquen treats visual language as both an artistic medium and a tool for advocacy. His work does not separate art from impact; instead, it seeks to spark conversation, preserve memory, and foster a sense of belonging.
Originally emerging from Venezuela, Benzaquen’s work has since reached audiences worldwide. Today, his visual storytelling has generated over 600 million views across social platforms and digital media, leading to collaborations with major content creators, influencers, and international media outlets, including BBC and other global platforms.
His artworks are collected internationally and shared across exhibitions, private collections, and online spaces. Whether through a single piece or a widely viewed video, Benzaquen’s goal remains consistent: to create images that resonate emotionally, travel freely, and connect people through shared identity and experience.
