Many talented children are born at different times and in different parts of the world. They don’t need to attend any classes in order to show their grace. They just understand where they need it most: in dance, music or art, as the Nigerian Karim Waris Olamilkan did.

Read the story to find out how he became famous․

The hero of the story was born in a simple family where no one is an artist. But the boy has a gift from above, he draws very well. For the first time, Karim tried to draw at the age of 6. It’s true that he didn’t have the quality equipment of a professional artist, but that didn’t stop him from enjoying the process of painting. It was so much fun for the kid…

Karim’s family moved to another city when he was 8 years old. Fortunately, there was a Professional Art Academy not far from the house. When the students studying there were painting outside, the boy watched them carefully. Our little artist finally realized that he is not the only one who is interested in painting.

When the director of the Academy saw Karim’s paintings, he was very impressed by his talent. He helped the boy to enter the Academy. It’s surprising that at the age of 8 he was already a student.

Unfortunately, because of the financial problems, Karim could not often achieve what he wanted. His teacher helped him to pay for his education. However, paper, brush and paints were needed, and the money was not enough for them. The boy says, “My family members work hard so that we don’t go hungry. This is what inspired me”.

The boy’s painting style is mainly hyper-realism. He paints people’s faces in such detail that they look like photographs. “Daily Bread” is one of Karim’s best paintings, where the boy sits down at the table and starts eating after a hard day, with drops of sweat on his face. The meaning of this is that making money is not an easy thing.

Karim has great hopes that he will reach success in art. He aims to look for new opportunities after graduating from the Academy. He is registered on Instagram, where he publishes some of his works and amazes everyone.

Everything is possible. Karim did not stop, fought and succeeded. Nothing stopped him on the way to his dream.

So, discover your talent and use it. Everything will work out for you.
