This painting reflects a pivotal moment in history, capturing the profound emotions experienced by the Enslaved upon learning of their Freedom. The scene is set in Texas on June 19, 1865—a day that would come to be known as Juneteenth. The figures in the artwork embody a range of reactions, from disbelief and skepticism to joy and relief.
Using vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes, I aimed to convey the intensity of this life-altering news. The backgrounds feature elements of the Texas landscape, symbolizing both the struggles they endured and the possibilities that lay ahead. Each face in the painting tells a story of resilience, hope, and the long journey toward liberation.
Through this work, I strive to honor their legacy and reflect on the significance of freedom, not just for the individuals depicted, but for all who continue to seek justice and equality. The painting serves as a reminder of the past, inviting viewers to contemplate the ongoing impact of this historical moment.
