Majestic Nude 1

16” x 20” Acrylic on Canvas The Majestic series is an ode to the beauty of Black and Brown men who embody ascended masculinity. Inspired by a muse distinguished by his humility, profound respect for others, and a dedicated pursuit of personal well-being, this painting by Mika celebrates the unique charisma that shines through adult entertainer Justin Howard. The profound connection between the subject's commitment to self-love and actualization as a Black man and his corresponding reverence for the bodies and pleasure of his partners is exemplified by the gold splatters that cover the canvas behind his strong stance.
