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.
He is inspired by the works of Michelangelo and fellow portraitist Arinze Stanley Egbengwu.
