"Heart in the Paint“ is a vibrant, original 30 x 40 inch acrylic painting on wood (w/ 2" cradle) from our Vanity Pop Collection. This colorful design by Los Angeles artist Vakseen is the perfect wall decor for your home, office or dorm! 

Last year, I leaned into discomfort, letting it teach me resilience and reveal the beauty of vulnerability. "Heart in the Paint" is one of the results—a bold, electrifying exploration of pouring every atom of yourself into what you love. Merging the unapologetic sharpness of my Vanity Pop style with a basketball-inspired undertone, this piece is a visual anthem for courage and dedication. The title, a nod to the phrase "he/she goes hard in the paint," isn’t just about sports—it’s a call to show up for life, especially when the stakes feel highest.

Every detail—from the striking vibrancy of the lips to the movement and energy of the basketball elements—tells a story of passion, perseverance, and triumph against the odds.

Each original painting comes unframed, prewired to hang, hand-signed (on the back) and includes a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
