"This is a portrait of Uncle Tito — a young man whose courage and kindness have touched many lives, including mine. He has dedicated his life to serving the children of Gaza, supporting them in their time of need with his amazing talent and ability to make people smile. He performs with the Gaza Circus School. If you don’t already follow Tito, be sure to go to his Socials linked above.
What started as an experimental painting quickly became something deeper — a way to honor Tito’s strength, his spirit, and the hope he carries even in the hardest of times.
Every color, every layer in this portrait, I painted with the thought of resilience and love. I know art can’t stop the suffering, but it can shine a light. It can remind us of the humanity and beauty that still exist, even under the shadow of war.
Uncle Tito is more than a name on social media. He’s a real person, with a family, with dreams, and with a heart that still gives love in abundance, despite everything he’s been through.
I created this artwork in solidarity for him and with all who continue to fight for life and dignity in Gaza. May this portrait remind us that behind every headline is a soul worth knowing, worth protecting, and worth honoring.
It was my intentions with this piece, if it turned out decently, I would donate it to somehow help Tito out. So I am going to be accepting offers on this painting, starting at $100 USD. All proceeds will go directly to Tito and his family to help them with the necessities they need right now to survive.
Bidding will remain open until September 16th so that we can get this money to them as soon as possible. The highest offer at the close of Tuesday will be able to then purchase the painting from me. I accept Paypal and will ship worldwide to anywhere that accepts postal delivery. (Shipping costs to be determined with the buyer at the end of the offer)
