    Own Your Power Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 330gsm Fine Art Paper by Indie184 Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 15 Artwork Size 13x17 "Both of these pieces were originally created for my first solo exhibit "Go Hard" in LA. The title and theme of the show came about from an epiphany I had and a motto that I live by. In my life, I have many roles and at the end of the day, no one is going to show me or tell me how to do it. My success all depends on how hard I want to go. I am my own artist. All the pieces are worlds of personal declarations; they are constant reminders to help me stay empowered. Basically, lots of self-motivation, fear conquering, and an undeniable twist of feminism in most of my work. The female icons I used not only for the purpose of their stunning beauty but also their story of how they came, conquered, and rocked the world. "Don't Get It Twisted" with Maria Montes, Queen of Technicolor, and "Own Your Power" with Marquita Rivera- Queen of Latin Rhythm. I loved how they were small-town girls, pursued their dreams, broke barriers, and made it to worldwide legendary status, thinking BIG. I like that badass female touch to the pieces. " - Indie
