Artist Statement
“This portrait of Harry Belafonte honors him in his regality, while capturing the depth, compassion and intensity of his unmistakable gaze. The stars surrounding him symbolize his presence in the ancestral realm, ever-watchful and guiding, just as he did in life. His pose is balanced with a quiet tenderness, reflecting his lifelong commitment to the care and upliftment of the Black diaspora. The piece celebrates not just the man, but the legacy and light he continues to cast over us.”
