Zinsky’s portrait of Mo Farah captures the spirit of resilience and triumph that defines one of athletics’ most celebrated figures. Against a bold pink backdrop, Farah is shown mid-celebration, arms outstretched in victory. The vibrant colour adds energy and contrast, highlighting his powerful form and motion.
Zinsky’s distinctive blend of realism and expressive abstraction brings the scene to life. Dynamic brushstrokes and layered textures echo the intensity of elite sport, while the drips of paint suggest both movement and the effort behind each stride. Farah’s determined expression and purposeful stance evoke the grit and grace of a true champion.
More than a portrait, this piece tells a story of courage, ambition, and endurance—an inspiring tribute to the pursuit of greatness.
