John Marin is the artist behind these grayscale portraits, all of which were created using oil paints. I have always been interested in realistic black and white paintings, but the young Filipino artist takes my penchant for achromatic art to a new level with his rough spiral lines.




There's no denying the amazing skill that this guy's got. Check out more of John's paintings (and other creative works) on his Instagram.
