Every drawing that Kareen creates stuns us with the details that are not something very common for an 11-year-old.

Kazeem Waris, Nigeria’s youngest hyper-realism artist recently came to prominence after drawing a portrait of the French President, Emmanuel Macron in 2 hours, and presenting it to Macron who was on a 2-day visit to Nigeria.
