While the portrait above looks like the work of a typical professional artist, there is more to it than meets the eye.
Looking at it, one would never guess that the artist behind it, P. Jesfer, painted the entire 15 square foot (1.4 square meters) portrait using just his mouth.
Suffering from muscular atrophy - also known as muscle wasting - a condition that has left him unable to move his arms or legs, the Indian artist refused to allow his condition to stand in the way of creating beautiful art.
In a time-lapse video recently shared by E World, Jesfer, who has been bound to a wheelchair for several years, is captured creating a portrait of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and his son, Prince Hamdan ... and it is nothing short of incredible.
With a brush placed in his mouth, Jesfer draws outlines of the sheikh and prince, smoothly mixes paints and goes on to complete the portrait in a seemingly effortless manner.
It took the 31-year-old around four months to finish the portrait.
"Some days I worked on it for two to three hours a day, and other days I spent a full day or night painting," he said, according to Khaleej Times.
The award-winning artist has suffered from muscular atrophy since childhood, but he was able to paint using his hands until the age of 15.
Over the years, he learned to write and paint with his mouth.
"When I started practicing painting with my mouth I faced so many difficulties," he said. "The sharp end of the brush injured my mouth several times and it caused me so much pain in my eyes too. But gradually l got used to it."
Now, Jesfer wishes to travel to the UAE and personally present his work to the Dubai royals.
So, why did he do it? According to Gulf News, Jesfer drew the portrait as a way to express gratitude to Sheikh Mohammed for supporting people with special needs.
In April, the Dubai ruler and Prime Minister of the UAE launched a national policy to empower people with disabilities. Through the policy, Sheikh Mohammed aims at "creating an inclusive society for those with special needs and their families," according to the National.
"Disability is, in fact, the inability to make progress and achievements," Sheikh Mohammed once said.
An advisory board dedicated to the service of people with disabilities been set up.
Dubai's ruler also declared at the time that people will be called "the determined ones" rather than "people with special needs".
The emirate of Dubai is actually aiming to become one of the world’s most disabled-friendly cities by 2020.
