Benjamin Work (born 1979, Auckland, New Zealand) is an artist from New Zealand with Tongan and Scottish heritage. He is well known for his murals across New Zealand, as well as his paintings inspired by his genealogy back to Tonga. Work's early life was marked by a diverse cultural upbringing, a passion for art, and a deep exploration of his Tongan heritage.
He has developed a deep interest in and conducted extensive research on aspects of Tongan history and culture.[4] This exploration has allowed him to incorporate elements of Tongan traditions and symbols into his artwork, creating a unique fusion of contemporary and cultural influences. Given the age of Benjamin's two Graffiato artworks, they have both been painted over.
