"Queen of Soul"

2020

48 x48 inches

Spray Paint and Acrylic on Canvas

 In 2020 I started my "Fallen Icons" collection. 

​

This collection was focused on pop icons that have passed and i wanted to pay my respects to. 

​

One of which was Aretha Franklin. I wanted to capture her beauty with my technique. 

​

The different shades were done with different patterns. The idea is that from a distance, you get to see Aretha with the word RESPECT behind her. As you come closer, you start to notice more and more details.
