This was the first that I created within this theme of "Byzantinizing historical characters". The inspiration started while taking an art history class at SCAD, and seeing the Byzantine era. I decided to give it my style and a twist

This piece was made after Diego Maradona died in 2020. I decided to make this piece because even though I couldn’t see him play. But, seeing the Argentinian news, and all the people desperate to give him the last goodbye. Made me decide to create this piece as a way of tributing him that was such an important character for Argentina and soccer.

This piece was meant only to be a test, but after I finished it and looked at it and thought that it looked interesting even though it was the first one I’ve done. So, after that I’ve took some elements from it and applied it to future pieces.
