Benas Burdulis

Benas Burdulis is an artist, architect, and designer whose work distills ephemeral phenomena, such as light and color, giving them a physical presence and bringing people closer to their experience of nature. His current practice attempts to elevate the effect of sunlight entering space to a transcendent state, with the goal of creating environments that are optimistic, mysterious, and perceptually stimulating yet serene.

Benas was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, but immigrated to the USA at a young age. The sublime nature of Lithuania’s old forests and New Hampshire’s Appalachian mountains greatly informed the aesthetic that he gravitates towards. He received a Bachelor's in Design from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands in 2013, and a Master's in Architecture from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2016.
