"I’ve been holding back from sharing this for over a year, and I’m finally excited to do so.
About a year and a half ago, I had the opportunity to help introduce pastels to FC Dallas soccer player Sebastian Lletget. During that time, he shared his dream of creating a portrait of his late sister, Vivi.
With his permission, I’m honored to share the beautiful culmination of his work. This piece is a true testament to his dedication, heart, and perseverance. Sebastian was incredibly kind throughout the process, and I couldn’t be prouder of the effort and care he put into this meaningful masterpiece."
