With great honor, Artist
Justyn Farano has taken
the crown as the heir to
the throne in the fine art
kingdom of sports and
entertainment.
Over the course of his career, Justyn has created a significant art portfolio. It encompasses many of the top athletes in their respective sports such as Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Derek Jeter, and Muhammad Ali. Creating amazing art of the best athletes is one thing, having many of those same athletes own that very art is on a whole other level. It’s truly the greatest testament that any artist could wish for.
Where The
Passion began
Farano’s love for both sports and art began in his early childhood, one of his biggest sports heroes was Ken Griffey Jr., whose remarkable glove work and smooth swing made him a standout figure in Farano's eyes—almost like a superhero. As a young boy, Farano eagerly read Beckett magazine, particularly its annual art issue, which introduced him to the work of other talented artists. It was here that he discovered the diverse range of artistic expression, which inspired him to explore various mediums. At the age of 13, Farano began oil painting and quickly became captivated by the medium’s versatility.

While he is celebrated for his bold, vibrant colors and striking contrasts, he stands apart from traditional sports artists who merely replicate scenes. Instead, Justyn strives to craft a concept and tell a story within each painting, blending realism with innovative and unique backgrounds. His distinct style, creative approach, and attention to detail have elevated the Farano brand to the forefront of the industry.
