Ha' way the lads

A work inspired by the celebrations of September 16, 2026, marking Sunderland's return to European competition after 53 years.

The atmosphere, fireworks, chants, and bustling crowds are captured through an intense color palette and thick, expressive brushstrokes.

The focal point of the canvas is a tifo display featuring ships sailing the waters to conquer new shores—a perfect piece to showcase the local identity and the area's deep connection to football.
