Olamilekan Warris Kareem
After making a hyperrealistic pencil portrait of French President Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron in under 2 hours during his visit to Nigeria, Olamilekan made his debut on social media.
The 12-year-old Nigerian artist works from a makeshift art studio in Lagos, where he primarily uses pencils and ballpoint pens to create incredibly detailed portraits of friends, family, and notable figures.
