Before you make a decision, be it a bonsai purchase, a course or an event, you might want to know a bit more about me. Can I trust these people?
I introduce myself!
David Benavente, originally from Madrid, began to devote himself to bonsai in the early 1990s. Although he has had an interest in growing plants since he was young, it was at that time that he discovered the art of bonsai and decided to devote himself to it more intensely.
In the beginning, Benavente was self-taught, although with the great help of the magazine “Bonsai Actual”. He began to participate in local exhibitions and competitions, and over time he began to stand out and gain recognition from other bonsai enthusiasts. At the age of 22 he managed to dedicate himself professionally full time to bonsai under the orders of Luis Vallejo.
Benavente has participated in the most important exhibitions and events related to bonsai, both as an exhibitor and as a juror. He has also given courses and workshops on four continents to share his knowledge and techniques with other bonsai enthusiasts. His didactic work does not end here, as he has collaborated with magazines from different countries. He is no stranger to new formats either, as his YouTube channel is one of the most didactic in Spain (data backed by the number of followers and hours of viewing).
His work is characterised by creativity and innovative techniques in his work with “Yamadoris”, as well as meticulous attention to detail.
In his long career, David has created some of the most beautiful and admired bonsai in the world, winning numerous awards and accolades. His trees are known for the unique style that David has developed over the years and are appreciated by bonsai enthusiasts and collectors around the world. David, always at the forefront, never ceases to open new technical and aesthetic paths, in a constant search for excellence and his own apprenticeship.
Today, if we had to define David Benavente in five words, they would be vision, passion, impossible transformations and bonsai didactics.
