Biography

Benjamín Torres creates compelling artworks that transform everyday objects and media imagery into incisive reflections on contemporary culture, perception, and materiality. His practice spans sculpture, installation, collage, and conceptual art, often deconstructing familiar forms to challenge consumer culture, visual overload, and the ways images are commodified.

He employs techniques such as appropriation, fragmentation, and layering to produce works that are both visually striking and intellectually rigorous, emphasizing the tension between form, meaning, and context. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Torres examines how material, imagery, and social context intersect, transforming everyday objects into sites of reflection and dialogue. His work encourages active engagement, prompting viewers to navigate the shifting boundaries between the familiar and the conceptual while exploring contemporary cultural conditions. ...
