A local graphic designer working in Saudi Arabia has made a huge collage portrait of King Abdullah after working on it for nine months.
Ajay Kumar, who hails from Kerala, has made the collage using about 300 glossy magazines, giving it a look of an oil painting.
"My artwork is my expression of love to a great man. I really believe that King Abdullah deserves a Nobel Prize for peace and humanity," Kumar told a Saudi newspaper.
The portrait is two-meter high and two-meter wide, and has a special frame.
"I am very much impressed and inspired by the generosity shown by the Saudi monarch to all his subjects as well as to the expatriates living here.
"The King has a unique personality and is highly respected among world leaders. His interfaith dialogue initiative and communal harmony has been appreciated by all religious leaders," Kumar told the Saudi Gazette.
This is Kumar's second portrait of King Abdullah. He presented his first portrait to the King in 2008 at the Gulf Royal Palace, when King Abdullah was visiting the Eastern Province.
Kumar came to the Gulf Kingdom in 2007 after completing a three-year degree course in arts, and a diploma in graphic designing in India.
