Benjamin Anderson's biggest passions are portraits. That's because this type of art work provokes him to find a representation that reflects the many different characteristics of an individual.

Besides portraits, Anderson is also known for monumental oil paintings from the two series: "Just add water" and "Bikini", modern, realistic, breath-taking artworks with an ironic touch at the base.
