PRINCE: Purple Rain, Music Rain. Award of Distinction and Artist's Choice

The medium used is oil on canvas.
Prince Rogers Nelson, an American music superstar, famously simply known as Prince serenaded his fans with his music for many years. With his falsetto singing voice and flamboyant stage appearances, music lovers around the world enjoyed the outpouring music rain of Prince. “Purple Rain”- One of Prince’s award-winning albums inspired me to create this painting titled “Purple Rain Music Rain.”
The general theme of my works is ‘The Facts of Life’ (Roses and Thorns); I used the purple flowers in this painting to depict Prince’s successful career as the rosy time of his life. The thorns in his life were the contract restraints with Warner Brothers when he could not produce records with his name – Prince for a short time. The death of his son, the end of his marriage with Mayte Garcia and the accidental drug overdose that brought an end to his life and his successful music career are the thorns of life.
