Mike Tyson portrait commission from last year. Painted specifically for the legendary world-class boxing champion Iron Mike! Huge 4x5 feet, #oil on canvas. Why Egypt and turban?🤔❓ Last spring @miketyson was in 🇪🇬 Egypt to shoot a scene in Egyptian action movie (Pharaohs' Campaign). I had a few challenges with this commission. 😜 As usual, there was something wrong around the lips! 💋 I also had to completely repaint it because I took some artistic liberties with the outfit and painted him as a pharaohs! Lol! Client was furious! 😠 saying, He's a #muslim, not #egyptian! It was nerve wracking. Was it culturally insensitive of me?. But, I think 100% satisfaction is important, so I'll keep painting until a client is happy. At the end, the client was so appreciative and satisfied, that made my day! 💗💗💗😄 What would you have done?. . . . .. #tatyanazenart #tatyanazen #contemporaryart #portraitpainting #contemporaryrealism #portrait #fineart #gallery #artcollective #artcollectors #dailyart #artmagazine #collector #boxing #lagunabeachart #lagunabeach #lagunabeachartist #losangeles #gallerywall #saatchiart #artsy #portraitcommission #customcommission #celebrityportrait #miketyson #ironmike #overcoming (at Giza Plateau, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Bb5LxH9w8/?igshid=11g8wr9pdpdap
