Description
In the eyes of this gorilla, you can see more than strength—you see experience, grit, and the heart of a true champion. With his golden gloves raised and a calm fire in his gaze, he’s not just ready to fight—he’s already won the battles that matter. This artwork captures the spirit of resilience: the quiet power that comes from overcoming, from standing tall, again and again. He Was the Champ reminds us that true greatness isn't loud—it's steady, grounded, and deeply earned.
Artwork Features
In this highly expressive and passionate style Gillie and Marc have let their emotions run free in this explosive collection of freehand painting.
