Miniatures out of tooth-paste

Left with paints and brushes as a child, Christian Ramos has been experimenting with toothpastes to create unique art pieces.

Ramos doesn’t have very complex tools to create such masterpieces, just his fingers. He swiftly moves his fingers through the paste to create lasting master pieces. Since toothpaste has a very sticky substance and dries up really fast too, it is completely at the skill of Ramos’s fingers how they weave in and out of the texture to give it a composition.

Aged 34, Ramos lives in Orlando, Florida and has gained popularity for his intricately designed portraits. He provides attention to details that result in extra-ordinary portraits. Since toothpaste is sticky and dries up fast, Ramos has to be swift enough to give it a form before it dries up.

A single drawing may take up to 200 hours and 30 tubes of toothpaste. In the video, Ramos is seen working on a portrait of Robin Williams.

Ramos plans to sell the painting at an auction and donate the earnings to a cause of depression.
