This is my 11 by 14 inch acrylic painting, a striking portrayal of teenage melancholy. This artwork, Alejandro, my art baby, a sorrowful young boy with droopy eyes and curly hair, rendered predominantly in shades of blue to evoke a deep sense of sadness. The painting captures the essence of teenage emotions, offering a poignant glimpse into Alejandro's world of introspection and sensitivity. Perfect for those who appreciate art that speaks to the heart, this piece is a profound exploration of youthful melancholia, inviting viewers to connect with their own emotions and experiences.

With careful attention to detail, this piece celebrates the beauty of both Peace and her faith, making it a meaningful addition to any space. A genuine embodiment of her remarkable persona, this painting serves as a visual testament to the power of faith and the beauty of the human soul.Â
This is Untitled #1
This was a pivotal point in my artistic journey only because I don't think I have ever played with color and positioning with a face of anger/agitation. This paint has shown me that I can accomplish more when it comes to painting people. I can portray more than just neutral or happy emotions. Anger and agitation can be beautiful and the colors and wrinkles in one's face can be an interesting thing
This is Untitled #2
Of course after the first untitled, I had to go back and do a dark version. A few years back during my Glassroots x Petersvalley fellowship, I learned how to play with painting on black in a beautiful way in a class taught by an amazing artist Kulvinder Kaur Dhew. Honestly I've attempted to various times but in my mind I had already hit my peak and nothing that I've painted on black ever felt good enough until this one. The expression and pain lighting through the black of the background, my favorite accomplishment as of now. I had an issue with shaping the chin along with the rest of the face's emotions but I believe it works beautifully.
These are my most valued pieces, above any oil painting I've done, and if I ever find them a home, I hope these ladies can be given a name. I created them to be full of pain and living a life nameless is cruel. I wish I could think of a name for them but giving them a name would probably be even worst than creating a piece full of pain and anger and distancing yourself from it
