Portrait of Nelson Mandela painted by speed artist Jon Hicks.

---

Painted by speed artist Jon Hicks at the 2006 Womad festival in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Accompanied by music (usually a clue to who he is about to paint), he starts with a blank canvas, paints the portrait upside down, and on completion (about five minutes) spins the cavas around to reveal the personality.
