"Resist"

This original 30x40" mixed‑media portrait pays tribute to the iconic Princess Leia — a symbol of courage, rebellion, and timeless strength within the Star Wars universe. Created on a stretched gallery‑wrapped canvas, the piece layers acrylic paint, pencils, markers, spray paint, and hand‑cut magazine and news clippings into a textured collage that reflects her legacy as both royalty and revolutionary.
Sharp lines meet atmospheric color, capturing Leia’s duality: fierce leader and compassionate heart. The mixed‑media fragments echo the galaxy she fought to protect, while the expressive strokes channel the resilience and fire that made her one of cinema’s most enduring figures.
This artwork isn’t just a portrait; it’s a tribute to defiance, hope, and the enduring power of a character who inspired generations.
