"Graceful Touch"

Yao Ming

Yao Ming brought size and a skilled scoring touch to the Houston Rockets after entering the NBA in 2002. An eight-time NBA All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection, he became an important link between basketball in China and the United States. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.

In “Graceful Touch,” Justyn Farano presents Yao reaching toward the basket with the ball balanced on his extended shooting hand. His white-and-red Rockets uniform stands against a textured red-and-black background, keeping the emphasis on the long arm and controlled release. The portrait celebrates the skill within his towering presence, giving the movement of the hand and basketball the central role suggested by the painting’s title. This original painting is hand-signed by Yao Ming.

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.
