The works look like they’ve been painted or drawn with pencil or charcoal, but they’re made with entirely different colored words.
For each painting, he chooses a word or a phase related to the painting and writes his thought about it in the caption.
The 40-year-old artist has done text-based portraits of other notables including US President Obama with the word “Hoped” and the South Africa former President Nelson Mandela with the text “My hero”.
