Arte:

They really do taste as good as they look! Artist uses 5,000 sweets to create individual portraits of celebrities

These celebrities regularly provide eye candy to millions of people around the world.

But one artist has decided to take that literally -  by making their portraits out of sweets.

Cristiam Ramos, 32, from Mexico City, has immortalised a number of the world's biggest stars in sweets, including Marylin Monroe, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj.

Mr Ramos uses Gummy Bears, liquorice, M&M's, bubble gum and after dinner mints to help craft the iconic faces in his studio in Orlando, Florida.

Each one contains more than 5,000 individual sweets - and takes hours of meticulous work to finish.

 

Mr Ramos has even taken the tasty art form a step further - building a life-size motorcycle out of 20,000 sweets.

The Mexican, who has lived in Florida for five years, said: 'I love and feel inspired to create different things with new materials.

'The idea came about four years ago while I was in a park. A dad gave his son a sweet to soothe his sorrow.

'The sweet made the boy smile and I immediately realised that sweets make human beings happy, "what if they saw one of their idols enshrined in their favourite sweets?"

'I just took it from there.'

Mr Ramos, who started painting aged eight, has seen his works displayed in museums around the world.

Life-like: Lady Gaga is also treated to a sweet-covered makeover. Each portrait takes hours of meticulous work to finish

And a single sweet portrait can sell for up to $18,000 (£11,300), depending on the amount of material and size of the picture.

He added: 'My only desire as an artist is to convey to people the pleasure I feel in doing this work and that if ever anyone sees a work item out of the ordinary rest assured that is Cristiam Ramos.'

Other celebrities whose sweet-covered portraits have been designed by Mr Ramos include Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
