CHANGE THE WORLD (LOVE CAN) - is based on another one of the early appearances of OPN HEART, though at the time it had not yet been named as such. On November 10th, 2017 I was asked to paint a mural in First Street Green Park in NYC. The mural design chosen said "LOVE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD," and within that design, I painted another one of these HEARTS that I was enjoying. At this point, the HEART was appearing in most of my pieces, and I was loving it's presence.
What's special to me, looking back on this mural, is that while the message holds true, and I very much believe in the power of love, the hidden layer unseen at the time, was the HEART that was quickly becoming a main character in my work, and while LOVE was hopefully CHANGING THE WORLD, this HEART was beginning to change my life.
So for OPN HEART ETERNAL #4, this piece is designed after that special mural which is locked in history in my HEART, and thankfully in photos.
