RUSESABAGINA
Rusesabagina, acrylic on canvas, 18" x 24", 2024.
This poignant acrylic work serves as a tribute to international humanitarian activist and hero Paul Rusesabagina.
Titled "Rusesabagina: An "Ordinary" Hero," the portrait commemorates the bravery of a man who saved over a thousand lives during the Rwandan genocide—a story famously chronicled in the film Hotel Rwanda. The piece stands as a record of a significant milestone in the artist's career: the honor of presenting this work to Rusesabagina on the same stage where he received a certificate of heroism from the City of San Antonio.
