"Pride of Puerto Rico"

Roberto Clemente

Roberto Clemente carried the pride of Puerto Rico onto baseball’s greatest stage. Across 18 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, he collected exactly 3,000 hits, won four National League batting titles and earned 12 Gold Gloves, pairing an exceptional bat with one of the game’s most celebrated throwing arms. A two-time World Series champion and the 1971 Series MVP, he became the first Latin American player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973. In “Pride of Puerto Rico,” Justyn Farano honors that historic recognition and the enduring connection between Clemente, his homeland and generations of baseball fans.

A newspaper headline announcing Clemente’s Hall of Fame induction gives the portrait its historical foundation. Sepia tones, black and gold, and his number 21 connect the Pirates legend’s playing career with the lasting honor that followed, turning the composition into a tribute to his place in baseball history.

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.
