"The Champ Is Here"

Muhammad Ali

Before he became Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay announced himself to the world by winning light heavyweight gold at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. Four years later, he defeated Sonny Liston to become heavyweight champion at just 22. He went on to win the world heavyweight title three times, combining exceptional speed and footwork with a confidence that changed the sport. His journey from Olympic prospect to global icon remains one of boxing’s defining stories.

In “The Champ Is Here,” Justyn Farano returns to the young Cassius Clay at the beginning of that remarkable career. The painting celebrates the Olympic breakthrough that preceded his heavyweight triumphs, capturing a moment when the future champion was first making his mark on the international stage.

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.
