The moment I walked into the room with Donald Trump, it was clear this project would be unlike any other. His larger-than-life presence filled the space, and as we talked, it became apparent that capturing his persona meant representing his unapologetic confidence and relentless ambition.
Trump spoke candidly about his journey from real estate mogul to reality TV star and then to politics. His energy was infectious—he demanded attention, and so would the art I created of him. For the portrait, I used vibrant, commanding colors—deep reds and golds—reflecting his bold, often polarizing presence. Sharp, angular lines mimicked his direct, no-nonsense approach to life.
The process was intense, but in the end, the portrait embodied the essence of Trump—unwavering, larger-than-life, and unapologetically himself.
