👉 In literature, art, or any other form of creative expression, a person who employs an exaggerated or distorted portrayal of another person or thing as a means to convey their own feelings or ideas is known as a "portrayist." This could be through exaggeration in caricatured portraits, the use of elaborate costumes and makeup, or the manipulation of language and tone. Portrayists aim to create a sense of reality that is more realistic than what is actually happening in the world around them,
