Tim Bengel

Tim Bengel is a young German artist who lives and works in Esslingen near Stuttgart. He became known for his imaginative and unique gold and sand collages, and at a rapid pace. Virtually overnight the modern painter took the world’s social media channels by storm. Over 500 million people gave the videos about his art a “like”. Suddenly everyone knew and loved Tim Bengel.

The enthusiasm of his fans has not diminished to this day. His famous golden avocado bagel Who wants to live forever was auctioned for 2.9 million dollars. The golden bagel inspired Bengel to look into the topic of superfoods for his next project. And what could be more obvious than to turn to the local superfood, namely the Superfood Kraut.

Tim’s portfolio is growing, and his art is unusual and fresh. In addition to his gold sand collages, he also engraves marble tombstones with sometimes meaningful, sometimes humorous words, casting a critical eye on his own life’s journey.

For anyone interested in the life and work of this newcomer who took the art scene by storm, the coffee table book Tim Bengel is the ideal book.
