The Keyboardist (Gifted Hands) (Limited Edition) (2023)

The Keyboardist (Limited Edition-250),  The Keyboardist celebrates the Black innovators who shaped jazz through rhythm, improvisation, and storytelling. The figure’s hands, layered with newsprint, carry the narratives of those who came before—echoing the genius of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, and Nina Simone. Like the textured composition of this piece, their music is built from history, resilience, and boundless creativity. The tie, also embedded with stories, symbolizes jazz’s evolution—rooted in African rhythms, gospel, and blues—forever reinventing itself with each keystroke.
