Benedikt Tektonik is the alter ego of an established architect-artist. As a means of alternative expression by the artist, Tektonik chooses not to reveal his identity. In this way the artist wishes to let the artworks exist within their own context, and to avoid any comparison with other work produced by the artist. Free from boundaries, borders or labels, Tektonik invites the viewer to find their own connections with the works. Benedikt has exhibited in many prestigious galleries in South America and Europe.
""For me, art explores open questions without the intention of finding the answers. It's something to connect emotionally in an inexplicable way.""
