I chose to do this portrait of Barack Obama because it was incredibly interesting to learn how much meaning was behind it. For instance, the blue lilies are to signify Kenya which is where Barack Obama's father was born, the jasmine represents the place where he was born (Hawaii), and chrysanthemums represent Chicago where his political career originated from. I think that him sitting down in his portrait gives off a sense that Barack was the type of man/President that was approachable. Overall, I think this portrait is beautiful and I always think art that has meaning behind it is incredible.
