18 Black Artists Showcased Their Powerful Work Front and Center at the US Open

Dionelo "El Souls" Alverez is an artist who creates photorealist portraits, typography/graffiti, and Impressionist artwork. His piece "Faith" is a portrait of a young girl wearing a durag who finds peace of mind in watching tennis matches and takes inspiration from the strategic moves presented on the screen. "The portrait raises awareness of bringing people together in a world that has its eye towards the current climate surrounding race relations globally, while addressing love, elevating issues and embracing change," Alverez said.
