This one is about legacy. Nipsey’s energy lives on and this portrait was my way of showing respect and love for this inspiring soul. The blue background is deep and still, letting every detail on his face and neck stand out. Every tattoo is part of his story. Prolific. God will rise (the translation of his name). The tattoos on his neck. His gaze is focused like he is thinking about the next move even now. I kept everything else quiet so you feel that presence fully. Calm yet powerful.
