Lewis Hamilton
Paul Oz electrifies the world of Formula 1 art with his explosive portrayals of Lewis Hamilton, channeling the driver's unmatched speed and resilience through thick impasto layers that leap off the canvas. As a master of hyper-realistic yet vibrant works, Oz captures Hamilton's essence in moments of triumph, blending raw energy with intricate details that make viewers feel the roar of the engines. His ongoing dedication to immortalizing McLaren's champions includes plans for a bronze sculpture of Hamilton, part of a decade-long series honoring the team's legends.
Among Oz's standout pieces are limited-edition prints and hand-embellished canvases celebrating Hamilton's milestones, such as the 2018 'World Champion' print that bursts with the thrill of victory. He vividly recreates Hamilton's first race win in Canada 2007 on framed canvas, evoking the breakthrough that launched a stellar career. Other dynamic works include the 2020 hand-embellished canvas, highlighting Hamilton's dominant season, and El Primo II - Wall Of Champions, a framed print pulsing with intensity.
Oz's personal commissions for Hamilton add an intimate layer, like the original oil painting gifted to Mercedes upon Hamilton's departure, depicting him in the iconic silver car and now proudly displayed at their Brackley headquarters. Pieces such as the Union Flag victory portrait and rainbow helmet renditions further showcase Oz's ability to infuse national pride and innovation into Hamilton's legacy, turning racing history into tactile, adrenaline-fueled art.
