About the Artist

Ran Benhamu is a contemporary painter, born in Israel in 1973. From an early age, he demonstrated a natural connection to the landscapes around him – often drawing inspiration from the hills, coastlines, and open skies of his homeland.

He is known for capturing the calm and beauty of natural environments, focusing on forests, rivers, mountains, and moments of solitude in the wild. His preferred mediums are oil and acrylic, through which he conveys both serenity and emotional depth.

Now based in New York, Ran draws artistic inspiration from the contrast between his Israeli roots and the lush, seasonal scenery of the American Northeast. His paintings often reflect this duality – blending Mediterranean light with North American stillness.

Over the years, his work has evolved in both scale and complexity. His canvases have been featured in boutique galleries, curated exhibitions, and private collections across the United States and Israel, steadily building a reputation as a deeply reflective and refined artist.

Through his art, Ran continues to explore the connection between memory, place, and nature – creating quiet yet powerful visuals that invite the viewer into a moment of peace.”
