Your reality should be your inspiration ..don't you think?!

in #arab6 years ago (edited)

Kareem Waris Olamilekan is an 11 years old Nigerian artist lately he is gaining worldwide recognition after his hyperrealistic portraits and skilled drawings .

Olamilekan works from a makeshift art studio in a poor neighborhood in Lagos, where he primarily uses pencil to create incredibly detailed portraits of friends, family, and notable figures.
The great thing about his story is that he is using his reality and his tough consequences to be his inspiration.

“The inspiration behind it is that something going on around me, especially my family. The sweat on it symbolizes hard work and struggling. And the spoon symbolizes food. Everybody in my society has little now, or my streets, they struggle, struggle, they sweat for their eats,” he said.

The point of this story is that some of us was born rich and some was born poor and the rist is in between and that makes the environment we are getting raised in , becomes a part of our personalities and forms the cases which we defend for the rest of our lives... but for sure everyone can use his reality and his environment to be his inspiration and also can turn its disadvantages into great things that blew the world away .
And now I leave you with some of Kareem's drownings 😍

كريم واريس أولاميلكان هو فنان نيجيري ذو ١١ عاما . مؤخرا يكتسب شهره عالميه بسبب صوره الواقعه ولوحاته الماهره

يعمل كريم من استوديو فني مؤقت في حي فقير في لاغوس ، حيث يستخدم قلم رصاص في المقام الأول لإنشاء صور مفصلة و دقيقه بشكل لا يصدق للأصدقاء والعائلة والشخصيات البارزة.
العظيم في قصة كريم أنه استخدم واقعه و ظروفه القاسيه كالاهام له

يقول كريم :- الالهام وراء هذه الرسومات هوا ما يجري حولي خاصه عائلتي . العرق فيها يرمز الي العمل الشاق و الكفاح . و الملعقه ترمز الي الطعام . كل شخص في مجتمعي يمتلك القليل الان او الشوارع. أنهم يكافحون و يكافحون و يعرقون لأجل طعامهم

الهدف من هذه القصه ان بعضنا ولد فقيرا و بعضنا ولد غني و الباقي ولد بينهما و هذا يشكل البيئة اللتي ننشأ عليها و يصبح جزء من شخصيتنا و يشكل القضيا اللتي ندافع عنها لباقي حياتنا ولكن بتأكيد كل شخص يمكن أن يستخدم واقعه و بيئته لتكون مصدر الهامه و أيضا يحول عيوبها الي اشياء عظيمه تذهل العالم كله
و الان اترككم مع بعضا من رسومات كريم ❤😍
