I’ve always been mesmerized and encouraged to put as much passion and love into my art through painting as Marc Anthony does with his art through singing. In this painting, you can see Marc Anthony, the palm trees symbolizing the tropics of PR on the left and the concrete jungle and the statue of Liberty on the right representing NYC… Lady Liberty proudly extends her torch to Marc so he may continue to spread hope, truth and love across the nations & continue to be an iconic symbol for the Diaspora Latina!
