"It was only a dream" The Notorious B.I.G Mixed media on vinyl disc framed,
Description of the artwork:
"It was only a dream" The Notorious B.I.G, is a remarkable portrait artwork ingeniously presented within the confines of a vinyl disc, paying homage to the legendary rapper, The Notorious B.I.G. In the center of the vinyl disc, an incredibly detailed and lifelike portrait of The Notorious B.I.G. emerges. The artist has masterfully captured his larger-than-life persona. Biggie's enigmatic gaze seems to pierce through the grooves of the vinyl, and his signature crown, a symbol of his self-proclaimed status as rap royalty, rests firmly atop his head. Every nuance of his expression, from the deep-set eyes to his distinctive facial hair, is rendered with astonishing precision, bringing the artist's essence to life. The background of the vinyl disc is a fusion of elements that represent the rapper's life and legacy. A gritty cityscape reminiscent of Brooklyn, where Biggie grew up, forms the backdrop. The streets are alive with vibrant graffiti, symbolizing the urban landscape that influenced his music. A dynamic blend of deep blues and dark purples creates a nocturnal atmosphere, reminiscent of the nighttime streets that inspired his lyrics. Embedded within the vinyl's grooves are snippets of his most iconic lyrics, etched in delicate script, further immersing the viewer in the world of The Notorious B.I.G. These lyrical fragments serve as a testament to his lyrical prowess and storytelling abilities. The vinyl disc itself bears the marks of authenticity and time, with visible grooves and imperfections that evoke a sense of nostalgia. It's as if the vinyl has been played countless times, each spin carrying the weight of Biggie's music and message. "It was only a dream" The Notorious B.I.G is not just a portrait; it's a sonic and visual tribute to one of hip-hop's greatest legends. It encapsulates the timeless allure of The Notorious B.I.G.'s music and the indelible mark he left on the world of rap. This artwork serves as a reminder of his enduring influence and status as an icon in the music industry.

Presentation
Born in 1989 in Tangiers, Saïd Sabir is an emerging artist in the street art scene.
For him, street art is more than a movement or a technique, it is first and foremost a way of seeing life. Saïd Sabir has been drawing ever since he was a kid, but his true vocation revealed itself in his teens with the discovery of hip hop and graffiti.
After studying graphic design, the Moroccan artist made his first paintings in 2011. They displayed the influence of pop art in the beginning, but his production got richer ever since. Saïd Sabir found his style little by little. Working with both spray paint and brushes on canvas, he managed to kept his spontaneity alive, while staying in control during the process, and choosing with great care each color he used. Sabir is a perfectionist though, and he reinvents his technique and improves his style ceaselessly. He likes to meet new artists during his travels and his style displays the marks of these influences. He never stops learning, and that is the only thing that matters to him.
His painting offers itself generously in his works. Each portrait delivers a message, has a narrative. He often stresses the importance of each of them in his personal life; they tell stories about people he meets, and they become witnesses of these moments. Saïd Sabir believes that the artist has an immense power, similar to the Divine force : that of creation.
In parallel with his colorful portraits that have become his trademark, Saïd Sabir is part of numerous projects. He is a comics author producing work such as Killer Network, Piece of Moon ou Wolves... He also makes screen printed t-shirts.
