"His Purpleness" is 18"x24" for the original

I wanted to create a painting that celebrates Prince, his life, his death because he's not truly dead. All around me, the electricity of his spirit lives on. That's why it was imperative that I use gold for the shades of his face. Under lights, he glows almost ethereal because Prince transcends the material world. I also used a lot of  blue, msytical shades of purple, symbolizing Prince's royal status as a great musical icon.

Prince 1958-2016 by Shalla Art

Yesterday, I found an artist playing Prince's music in his studio. We spoke about the artist and there were real deep feelings in the conversation about the greatness of the man, the talent. I'd say Prince reins, not just in people's hearts, their memories, he's in the air.

"His Purpleness" by Shalla Art

We love Prince. The Artist. The Icon. The Legend.

UPDATE: May 5, 2016

I've been painting Prince nonstop since he passed away...I am up to about 9 paintings now...I was watching his interview with Oprah in 1996 right after his baby was born (it died a few days after the interview). He was so upbeat with great hopes for the future, wanting 10 children with his beautiful wife and they were so in love. Life, who could've known 10 years later they'd be divorced. 20 years later, he's gone...
