Here Comes the King

Digital Artwork created via CSP in 2021. Made in honor of Snoop Dogg for his 50th birthday. The toga with its colors is inspired by the clothes worn by those who were part of the Medici family and the Florentine nobility during the Renaissance. The portrait is inspired by a photo I consider particularly suggestive of the subject depicted in this artwork. I decided to paint the hair purple, the colour of spiritual power, in order to emphasise the complexion of the subject. I tried to give the hairstyle a characteristic of absoluteneness and to reproduce the pendant in its magnificence. The subject has been interpreted with a more hieratic posture to give him an aura of majesty, but it seems he could move and speak at any moment. In my portraits, I always start from the skull, like the Renaissance painters. The background is a reinterpretation of a 16th century landscape painted by the famous Italian painter Raffaello.
