He began drawing at the age six.
At eight, he turned professional, becoming the youngest professional artist in Nigeria.
Waris said: “The inspiration behind it is that something going on around me, especially my family.
“The sweat on it symbolises hard work and struggling. And the spoon symbolises food.”
