Whitney Houston: The Flame - Print: Resin Coated

Limited Edition Print: Canvas Stretched, Mounted, Clear Resin Coated, and Hand Embellished by Ritchie Iwanski

This piece is entitled “Whitney: The Flame that Never Fades”. The size is 30" x 40" (76 x 102 cm). Each reprint will be uniquely hand embellished by Ritchie and no two pieces will be alike. Only 99 reprints will ever be made. Some voices are heard. Others are felt. And then there is Whitney—a force of nature, a symphony of power, grace, and soul that will never be duplicated. This piece is not just a tribute. It is a testament to an artist who transcended music, reshaped culture, and defined a generation. Layered with archival covers, headlines, and unforgettable imagery, this collage is a visual symphony—one that sings of Whitney’s unstoppable rise, her electric presence, and the timeless imprint she left on the world.

At its center, a striking black-and-white portrait commands attention—bold yet ethereal, framed in a pulse of neon pink, a color that embodies both her vibrancy and vulnerability. The composition pulses with energy, echoing the duality of her life: the stage and the spotlight, the voice and the woman, the icon and the human beneath.

This work is more than art—it is a preservation of history, a reclamation of legacy, a permanent reminder of what true greatness looks like. Every detail, every stroke, every carefully placed piece cements her place not just in music, but in art, culture, and time itself.

It does not belong in the background. It belongs where legends are revered, where their brilliance continues to inspire, where their light will never dim.

Whitney was more than a voice. She was a movement. A fire that could never be extinguished. And this piece ensures that fire never fades.
