“I was told as a boy, from family and teachers and other adults, ‘Your life will be harder because you are a Black man’. If that’s true, then I must strive to make the world better for the next generation of Black men, so that a lack of self-confidence and discrimination can no longer be a hindrance. I’m inspired by the future, and what can be.”

Although social commentary and political critique may cause many to backlash, and feel uneasy about their beliefs in systems they’ve nested in, Dareece Walker is honored by the fact his artwork causes people to think a different way then they once did as well as defend what they believe to be right. These raw and figurative paintings live through the eyes of not only Dareece Walker but many Blacks who witnesses the same depictions of honor, injustice, and struggle through his eyes who have lived in the past, present and in the future.
