I created this painting for Trent Alexander Arnold in 2022 but made a big mistake - out of 35 paintings I made for the PFA awards, this is the only one that I forgot to take a high resolution photo of.
After lots of fans kept asking me for prints of a Trent artwork, I knew it was a matter of time before I made a new painting of him.
In June this year, as the England team was steadily making its way to the Euro 2024 finals, I started a painting of the team. First one down was Trent, then Jude Bellingham, Saka, and so on…
However, with each player added I was losing interest more and more in this piece, until I decided to just shelve it.
I still loved how Trent turned out, so when I came across the painting a couple months later, I decied to capture that part of the painting in high resolution and finish it digitally as a single figure artwork.
This is the final result, which is now available as part of my open edition collection of fine art prints.
