THE LITTLE THINGS
I created this painting of my favorite fruit, a pomegranate, being opened. Within, if you look close you can see there's two people seemingly dancing in the seeds. It's meant to visualize my hopes in trying to find happiness in even the small joys of life. This is my fourth studio oil painting.

THE RISEN WITH IN THE FALEN; VISUAL OF KANYE "YE" WEST
The risen and the fallen are usually viewed as two separate entities, but I view them as one and the same. You cannot become one without the other, so many people fear being either. For better or for worse, I made this visual of the duality of man with the use of Kanye West, making it my third oil painting to date.
This is the smallest project I’ve painted with the face being equal in size to a quarter. I wanted to practice using fewer details by taking away my ability to make more.

SZA
One of my biggest artist inspirations of all time, SZA is the embodiment of how beautiful female rage can be. This oil painting is my biggest canvas and second overall to date.

BRENT FAIYEZ
Inspired by one of my favorite RnB artists, Brent Faiyez, this was my second oil painting to date. I wanted to practice creating realistic portraits and focus on different hair textures.

MY STOLEN SELF PORTRAIT
Over 60 hours of work put into something I’ll never get to finish. My first time oil painting. Being my biggest and longest art project ever, it’s was discouraging to feel like all my work went to waste, but I still wanted to post the progress I got because I was proud of it, even not at 100%.
