This Original oil pastel artwork is inspired by the legacy, emotion, and cultural impact of one of hip-hop’s most influential voices. The piece captures a quiet, reflective moment -balancing strength, vulnerability and raw linework.
Created using a sgarfitto technique, the surface reveals depth beneath the image, symbolizing identity, struggle, and expression. The use of texture and contrast gives the artwork a lived-in, almost weathered feeling-mirroring the complexity behind the subject.
This piece is part of the Rooted Life Art collection by Toronto-based artist Yaw, whose work explores culture, emotion, and self-awareness through textured oil pastel compositions
Perfect for collectors of hip-hop art, contemporary portrait work, and those drawn to expressive ,meaningful visuals
