Bio

Benjamin Kevin Pineda is a multimedia artist and photographer whose work explores material experimentation, spatial perception, and visual narratives. Raised between Manila, London, and Rome, he studied Interior Architecture at London Metropolitan University, a background that informs his approach to image-making and installation. His artistic path began in Rome in 2011 after working with Galleria Lorcan O’Neill, where he assisted on exhibitions by artists including Kiki Smith, Tracey Emin, and Anselm Kiefer. He later founded The Room Rome, an independent project space where he began presenting his own work. Pineda has worked internationally between Milan, Paris, and Tallinn, contributing photography to HUNGER Magazine and co-founding Ma+ke Lab, a studio focused on experimental installations, furniture, and material research. He is currently based in Manila.
