Rise

Shaped 'Vulcan Hand Salute' painting. Pharrell and his associates are frequently seen on photos and videos throwing up the Vulcan salute. This hand gesture was popularized in the 1960s television Star Trek. The 'Vulcan salute' was often accompanied by the words 'Live Long and Prosper'. Pharrell brought this salute back from the past representing positivity and his futuristic 'out of this world' vision. Paris-based & Amsterdam-raised artist Pieter Ceizer painted his interpretation of the Vulcan sign. The hand-shaped 'Rise' painting symbolizes a multi-color sunrise, the daily rebirth of earth and every human being. This artwork celebrates Pharrell's growth and evolution as a creative visionary and artist. Background painted with a soft pastel gradient, on top a deep purple line work reading 'Rise'.
