To Michael Jackson … I write for the man who had color, For the man who had purpose. All of us wished to have him forever by our side! There are few artists whom the whole world worships for their art and courage. Being in darkness but still seeing the light, finding hope in despair, seeing freedom in a life of oppression, experiencing isolation at the peak of success, and still staying true to your beliefs and your art. Michael Jackson, despite all the controversies, is still my top artist. I can see his true love for art. Even after all these years, I can still sing along to “Beat It,” shout while driving on the road, and feel like the ground beneath me is mine. The artist’s fight is something worth contemplating! This is it. It’s not over! Autumn 2024, acrylic on a 50 x 70 cm canvas.
