One of Wali’s most significant large-scale portrait masterpieces, this untitled portrait of Prince (Cosmic Prince) celebrates the life and energy Prince shared with everyone.
Expressed in motion with water droplets, musical notes, and lightning, the talent's hair becomes a beautiful storm above an unflappable stare of determined genius.
Wali’s signature appears on the Prince’s royal blue collar, framed by Olympic-sized gold rings and a symbol similar to “Love Symbol 32,” a shape that came to The Artist during meditation, both male and female, and replaced his given name until he became independent from his record label.
This painting exemplifies Wali’s dedicated, high-intensity color canvases, precise details, and Afrofuturism. Cosmic Prince is an unforgettable portrait of a beloved icon.
Wali masterfully created portraits of music, entertainment, and sports heroes, including icons Bob Marley, Luther Vandross, Richard Pryor, Aretha Franklin, and LeBron James.
