This Los Angeles-based artist blended art and science by sketching the portrait of famous evolution biologist Charles Darwin and blending it with that of a gorilla.

He repeated the process several times from several angles and created beautiful masterpieces each time.

Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection made humans rethink their place in the world. The idea that humans shared a common ancestor with apes was a challenge to the foundations of the western civilisation.

Darwin kept silent for 20 years before going public with his theory, writing his book 'On the Origin of Species'.
