A talented schoolboy has created a stunning portrait of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak - using hundreds of Rubik's cubes.
Henil Soni, 11, used a staggering 1764 cubes costing nearly £2,000 to make the colourful portrait of the Tory leader over five days.
Henil said he converts normal photographs such his impressive one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak into a pixelated drawing.
Each picture can be divided into quadrants which shows him how to solve each cube to fit the pattern - the Sunak portrait measuring 42 by 42 or 1764 Rubik's cubes.
The creation of the Prime Minister cost the family nearly £2,000 after his mother Priyanka struck up a deal with a supplier in India for 89p per cube and delivery.
She said: "It took him five days - he worked on it for about two hours each day after school and between his extra classes.
"I am just so excited for him - he is so proud of his portraits and shows them to his all his friends at school."
Henil said he chose Prime Minister Sunak as he was a “famous person” and added that he would soon be doing a larger 50 by 50 cube portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Now Henil has got his sights on setting a new world record by creating the biggest portrait out of 2,500 Rubik’s cubes.
Henil Soni, 11, wants to beat the most contributions to a rotating puzzle cube mosaic - which currently stands at 1,228.
He hopes to create a portrait out of 2,500 cubes by the end of his time at primary school with mum Priyanka hoping to get the Guinness World Records involved.
Priyanka, 35, said: "There are already 2,000 Rubik's cubes in my house and no one is allowed to go in the front room while Henil creating.
"We’ve had to move all the sofas out because the portraits are too big and we don't have enough space."
The mother-of-two told how Henil, from Harwich, Essex first became a whiz at Rubik’s cubes when he was five, watching YouTube videos on how to complete them.
He can solve a standard Rubik's cube in just a few seconds, and more complicated cubes like a 12-sided only takes him about three minutes to complete.
Over half-term, he made a Rubik’s cube display of his primary school’s logo with mum suggesting they use leftover skirting boards to keep the artwork straight.
Priyanka said she is going to buy a large frame for him for his world record attempt, which she hopes to organise soon.
Henil also plans on making an artwork of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he next goes to India later this summer.
