Why Collect This Piece

Jean-Michel Basquiat represents fearless creativity, individuality, and the power of defining yourself on your own terms. His rise from the streets of New York to the highest levels of the art world challenged conventions while expanding ideas of who could occupy those spaces.

I Am An Artist carries that spirit into Vakseen’s vibrant visual language, transforming Basquiat into a contemporary statement piece built around color, identity, confidence, and creative freedom.

For collectors of Black art, cultural portraiture, and works rooted in history and representation, this is an opportunity to own the only hand-painted original of this composition.
