Don’t Go Silent
Don’t Go Silent is a powerful original painting inspired by Queen Latifah’s portrayal of Cleo in the film Set It Off. Created over the course of two and a half weeks, this 22x28-inch acrylic work is layered with bold emotion and rich symbolism. It captures more than an iconic moment — it reflects the internal battle every dreamer faces: the will to rise, even when the world expects you to settle.
Using acrylic paint, gel medium for added texture, and sealed with a matte varnish, the piece blends realism with abstraction to emphasize resilience and personal conviction. Through this work, I wanted to channel Cleo’s raw ambition, exhaustion, and ultimate decision to face the world head-on — not as a victim, but as a voice too loud to ignore.
Don’t Go Silent is not just a painting. It’s a statement — a visual war cry for creators, underdogs, and visionaries still pushing to be heard.
