Black portraits are made in large white frames. None of the popular musicians. None of the popular actors again. A closer look reveals that no color was used to create the portrait. One person made these portraits using his own hair.
The man from the Philippines was named Justoni Garcia. He has a hairdressing shop in Manila, the capital of the country. But that is not his main occupation. Garcia works in an elite pleasure boat. For this he has to float in the sea for eight months of the year. He stayed in Manila for the remaining four months. At that time he spent time in his saloon.
Garcia, 32, cut his hair every few months. Afterwards, he kept the cut hair without throwing it away. He made portraits with them. It takes him two to five hours to make one portrait. The idea to make a portrait with hair first came to Garcia's head in 2021. Then he was at sea because of his job. Opportunities to retire there were limited. Garcia wanted to do something different in his spare time. From that thought he started making portraits with his hair.
In the beginning Garcia made his own portrait with his own hair. Later he started making portraits of popular artists. "When I was at sea, there was nothing to do in my spare time," he told the media. I like to draw. But there is no color or drawing book in the sea. So at one point I started making portraits with my own cut hair. That's the way to retire. "
Garcia said he created the portrait to keep himself mentally and physically healthy while at sea. However, he uses only his own cut hair, not the other. Garcia said that while he was at sea, he had run out of hair to collect portraits. Then he cut his own mustache and made a portrait using it.
