Title: Jeter / Medium: Multi-Media / Materials: Paper, Acrylic Paint. On Wood / Size/Dimensions: 34x41 / Year Created 2022 This bold and minimalist portrait by Voodo Fé, titled "Jeter", is a tribute to legacy, discipline, and enduring excellence. With striking restraint, Fé captures the essence of baseball icon Derek Jeter using only essential visual elements—and yet, the impact is immediate and profound. The figure is depicted from behind, head slightly bowed, crowned in textured collage and heavy black strokes that suggest a cap and close-cropped hair. The jersey is unmistakable: the crisp vertical pinstripes and the iconic number 2 command attention at the center. Thick, inky drips run down the canvas, echoing the gravity of the moment and grounding the piece in movement and emotion. Fé uses negative space to powerful effect—the white background is not empty, but full of reverence. It allows the viewer’s focus to remain on the stripped-down symbols of greatness: the uniform, the number, the posture. The drips feel like time itself—marking seasons passed, games played, pressure endured. What makes this piece quintessentially Voodo Fé is the texture and gesture layered into the upper section. Mixed media collage brings the figure’s head to life, infused with subtle detail, warmth, and human complexity, while the rest of the body fades into abstraction. It’s a balance between myth and man. “Jeter” isn’t just a portrait. It’s a salute. A meditation on what it

• Title: Mike • Medium: Multi-Media • Materials: Paper, Acrylic Paint. On Wood • Size/Dimensions: 24x24 • Year Created 2020 This explosive portrait of Mike Tyson by Voodo Fé captures the raw intensity, power, and mythos of the boxing icon in a way only Fé can—through a masterful fusion of texture, symbolism, and emotion. Built with thick, tactile dabs of paint and layered materials, Tyson’s form is rendered with near-sculptural weight. His frame dominates the canvas—shirtless, battle-worn, draped in championship belts that glint with layered whites, bronzes, and burnt golds. The portrait doesn’t just depict a champion—it feels like one: imposing, unshakable, forged under pressure. The skin tones are fiery and complex, built from a spectrum of rich ochres, deep reds, and charred browns—each daub a reflection of grit, struggle, and triumph. Tyson’s face is stoic and still, yet alive with quiet ferocity. The eyes, only subtly defined, seem to peer through you, carrying the weight of both pain and pride.
• Title: Naomi • Medium: Multi-Media • Materials: Paper, Acrylic Paint. On Wood • Size/Dimensions: 8x10 • Year Created: 2023 This compelling portrait by Voodo Fé honors Naomi Osaka, the Haitian-Japanese tennis icon, through a striking fusion of texture, identity, and quiet strength. Created on a raw wooden surface, the work carries both a grounded earthiness and a spiritual elegance— hallmarks of Fé’s approach to storytelling through portraiture. Naomi’s likeness is rendered in bold, graphic strokes of deep black and warm sepia, her gaze turned upward, contemplative and steady. A wide-brimmed hat adds an air of mystery and distinction, while the composition remains intimate, almost reverent. Her expression is calm, but undeniably powerful—a portrait of a woman who moves with both grace and purpose. A single red dot on her cheek draws the eye, a deliberate mark that could reference Japanese symbolism, emotion, or spirit—a reminder of her blended heritage. This small but potent element bridges continents, histories, and cultures, underscoring the duality that Naomi embodies. The textured wooden panel is more than a surface—it’s a living archive. Scratches, faded text, and patches of color bleed through the figure, suggesting depth, legacy, and the echoes of stories untold. At the bottom, Fé’s red signature feels almost like a seal—part affirmation, part offering. By placing Naomi Osaka—daughter of Haiti and Japan—into this iconic, timeless frame, Voodo Fé uplifts her not only as an athlete but as a cultural force. This portrait celebrates more than victory on the court; it honors lineage, introspection, and the quiet, unwavering strength of being fully oneself across worlds.
• Title: The Power • Medium: Multi-Media • Materials: Paper, Acrylic Paint. On Wood • Size/Dimensions: 24x24 • Year Created 2025 This electrifying portrait by Voodo Fé, titled "The Power," is a fierce celebration of strength, dominance, and unapologetic Black excellence. Capturing a moment of pure intensity, the subject—undeniably inspired by tennis legend Serena Williams—is mid- roar, racquet clenched, body ignited with motion and purpose. Fé constructs the figure using his signature collage technique: layered scraps of paper, text, textures, and paint converge to form flesh, fabric, and emotion. The result is a tactile, almost sculptural presence. Her muscles are carved from shades of brown and beige, with hints of red, white, and black streaking through the racquet and outfit—each scrap a fragment of a larger story, each layer a testament to resilience and drive. Her white outfit, composed of headlines and typography, features the partially visible word "super"—a fitting accidental or intentional nod to her status as a superhuman force in sport and culture. Even the text elements seem to echo with meaning, as if the media’s obsession with defining her has been cut, repurposed, and reclaimed on her own terms. Set against a rich, golden-yellow background, the figure radiates energy and triumph. The backdrop is bold and clean, a visual arena that amplifies the raw emotion in her face—the scream, the surge, the release. There is nothing quiet here. Nothing subdued. This is a portrait of power in full bloom. Voodo Fé doesn’t just show Serena in action—he shows her as action itself. A symbol of unrelenting will, of grace under fire, of the fire itself. “The Power” is not just an image— it’s a statement. A roar you can see.

On Wood • Size/Dimensions: 32x36 • Year Created 2015 This vibrant portrait by Voodo Fé pays tribute to the beloved baseball legend Yogi Berra with a blend of streetwise flair and nostalgic reverence. Using his signature collage technique, Fé reimagines the Hall of Famer not just as a sports icon, but as a cultural fixture—timeless, approachable, and brimming with character. Set against a cool-toned background, Yogi’s face emerges in a high-contrast palette of blacks, whites, and grays, accented with earthy browns, muted reds, and pops of pattern from layered paper textures. The use of mixed media brings the face to life—each patch of collage suggesting depth, memory, and the mosaic of a life well-lived. His expression is instantly recognizable: the wide smile, the wise eyes, the warmth behind the wrinkles. A Yankees capsits proudly on his head, with the iconic “NY” logo boldly rendered in crisp white—an emblem of legacy and loyalty. The cap is as much a crown as it is a uniform, grounding the piece in place and identity. In the bottom right, Fé’s unmistakable red signature anchors the portrait with confidence and presence, adding a flash of modern energy to the vintage tones of the image. This isn’t just a portrait of a man—it’s a salute to a spirit. A tribute to wit, wisdom, and longevity. Voodo Fé captures Yogi Berra not as a relic of the past, but as a living echo of joy, grit, and greatness.
