Fine Art Print 7in x 14in
This piece captures a moment of serenity. It offers a powerful and necessary counter-narrative to how black men are often portrayed in the media. It invites viewers to look past stereotypes and witness the tender, vulnerable side of Black manhood.
I finished this painting in 2023. I started creating it at a time of heightened police brutality against black women and black men. I saw black men being attacked out of fear, based off of who they were assumed to be. Never getting a moment to convey, I Come in Peace.
At the time, it was too painful for me to paint a piece that focused on the brutality. I decided to paint a portrayal of the black men I saw around me. I wanted to paint their essence; to humanize them to the world.
