Wayne Wright, a 55-year-old artist from Solihull, West Midlands, has captivated football fans by creating a series of remarkable portraits of some of the world's biggest football stars using nothing but oat milk. His subjects include Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
How the oat milk portraits were created
Wright recorded himself painting each footballer onto a glass canvas using oat milk as his sole medium. The footage shows the gradual emergence of each football legend in extraordinary detail, despite the unconventional material. Wright, who works for a printing firm, explained that the idea for painting with milk came after he received a free carton of oat milk that was nearing its expiration date.
Reaction from football supporters
Football supporters have been stunned by the collection, which showcases Wright's ability to capture the likenesses of some of the globe's most prominent football icons. The portraits include England players Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, Manchester City forward and Norway international Erling Haaland, and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, often considered one of the greatest footballers of all time.
Inspiration behind the technique
According to Wright, the technique of using oat milk as paint was born from a desire to experiment with everyday materials. He said, "I received a free carton of oat milk that was about to go out of date, and I thought, why not try painting with it?" The results have been praised for their detail and creativity.
