A local artist made a painting and shared his motivation for it in honor of Kudus’ outstanding performance in Qatar.
According to him, Kudus competing in the global tournament and shining is a “dream” and “inspiration” for the young ones in the community. He believes the midfielder is changing the “negative” narrative about Nima.
“A lot has been said about this community, mostly negative stories, and we are trying to change the narrative through our work. I’m doing art. I’ve painted around like six continents out of seven, and Kudus is carrying the dream away, so I feel it’s an honour to paint him and tell a story to inspire the young generation to move out of their comfort zone and make it,” he told TV3.
