Cole World

Oil on Wood Panel
2025
As a North Carolina native, I’ve been a supporter of J. Cole since the early days—mixtapes like Friday Night Lights were the soundtrack to my hustle. This portrait carries that same energy. I painted it in oil on raw wood to keep it grounded and real, letting the texture of the grain show through. The composition feels powerful but calm, like a quiet leader with something to say. It’s a tribute to legacy, to roots, and to the journey of becoming who you’re meant to be.
