The artist has a special talent: with the help of acrylic paints, he “brings to life” legendary characters from famous paintings, sculptures and frescoes. Inspired by classic artwork, the artist creates hyper-realistic portraits that look like photographs of faces.

According to JongaThis type of paint is versatile for simulating effects that range from thick texture to watercolor splatter. His incredible acrylic portraits have been exhibited in various galleries and are also quite popular on the Internet.
