Young and Determined

Acrylic Painting

This vibrant portrait depicts legendary boxer Mike Tyson in a classic fighting stance, wearing red gloves with the letters “TUF” visible on the cuff. Rendered in a bold, stylized color palette, the artist contrasts a reddish background with greenish-blue tones on Tyson’s skin, emphasizing expression over realism. In this piece, Peterson showcases textured brushwork and dynamic color choices that highlight Tyson’s power and presence.
