"A Soldier Dies But Once"

Tupac Shakur

Tupac Shakur became one of hip-hop’s most influential voices through music that addressed ambition, hardship, injustice, and life in America. His recordings and performances brought urgency and personal perspective to rap during the 1990s. Although his career was cut short in 1996, his work continues to influence musicians and listeners across generations.

In “A Soldier Dies But Once,” Justyn Farano portrays Tupac looking directly ahead while holding a Death Row Records pendant. The close composition draws attention to his expression and the jewelry associated with an important chapter of his recording career, presenting a direct portrait of an artist whose impact extended far beyond music.

The philosophy behind my art has always been to make the most compelling, engaging experience for you, the viewer. I try to envision what it was like to compete against that athlete on the field. I want you to feel that grit and rawness of emotion, the athlete’s competitive fire, and passion.

As a perfectionist, my obsession of getting these details precise, takes razor focus, constant critiquing, and fine tuning. It’s not till the painting is complete to my highest of standard, till I am genuinely satisfied.
