A Father’s Pride, A Son’s Dream

Published on 1 April 2025 at 10:14

This painting captures a moment of deep pride and generational joy— Lin-Manuel Miranda standing beside his father Luis Miranda, just after the opening night of Hamilton in Hamburg. A dream realized—not just by one, but by both.

They are bathed in rainbow lighting, a visual nod to pride, identity, and the universality of the stories that Hamilton tells. The rainbow light becomes more than just theatrical—it symbolizes the power of representation, inclusion, and love that spans generations.

As a portrait artist inspired by Lin-Manuel's work, this piece was personal. I wanted to show not just two public figures—but a father and son, standing in the glow of something they built together. One with words and music, the other with unwavering support and vision.

Painted in acrylics with rich texture and vivid color, this piece celebrates not just theatre, but family, legacy, and what it means to be seen.

Perfect for fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda, musical theatre lovers, and anyone moved by the quiet power of a proud father and a grateful son—standing side by side, under the lights of a dream come true.
