“I Hero” — Hero Series No. 1 

ABOUT THIS PAINTING

Original Mixed Media on Canvas Signed by James Faris | Certificate of Authenticity Included

We don’t talk enough about the quiet kind of brave.

Not the cape. Not the crowd. Just the exposed thing — ribs showing, teeth out, standing anyway.

I Hero is the first in the Hero Series, an exploration of the heroism that lives in each of us. The figure is part monkey, part human — because bravery is primal before it’s noble. The teeth aren’t aggression. The ribs aren’t weakness. They’re honesty. Showing up as exactly what you are is the oldest form of courage there is.

This is an original one-of-a-kind painting. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
