A CRUEL artist is cashing in on missing Madeleine McCann by peddling pictures of her in a Spanish gallery.

Enrique Marty, 38, has five twisted paintings on show in Barcelona at '4,300 each.

They include the haunting image of Maddie clutching tennis balls, one of the last photos of the four-year-old.

But the Spaniard said: 'This is a conceptual project, not an economic one.

'I don't understand why people would find it offensive.'

The McCanns' spokesman said: 'This appears to be another disgusting attempt to make money out of their plight.'
