Benjamin A. Vierling was born in San Francisco in
1974 and been studying painting privately since
he could hold a brush. His work utilizes the
renaissance technique of mixing egg tempera oil
paints, as learned from Philp Rubinov Jacobson in
Austria. Working from his California atelier in a
19th century convent, Vierling has been
exhibiting internationally since 2004.
Specializing in mythical portraits, arcane
symbolism, and vanitas themed still lives, his
paintings have appeared on numerous book and
album covers, including Joanna Newsom's
critically acclaimed record
