Mr. Jackson recently purchased several pieces of art from me. I had the honor of meeting him and delivering the artwork to his home shortly before his death. He was a childhood idol of mine and an entertainer who broke ground and set new standards for those to come. He was in a league of his own though and really, in a world of his own. He was mysterious and talented and the world constantly wanted to know who the man behind the mask was. I can tell you..he was a kind, gentle, soft-spoken man  who did me the honor of loving my art and I hope my creativity brought him joy.My life has been changed forever. You can't meet someone like that... an enigma, a piece of history, an idol and not be changed. The saddest part is that Michael Jackson had just started a "relationship" with my art and myself and who knows what would have come of it? Now we'll never know, but I consider myself lucky for having the brief moments I had to meet a legend and hang my painting on his walls. -Nelson De La Nuez |
