Our Lady of Victory, aka The Basilica has stood tall for over 100 years in South Buffalo, New York.

This shrine was meant to replicate many of the churches of Europe, paying tribute to his patroness, Our Lady of Victory.

Since the birth of this shrine, it has become a place of many celebrations, such as my cousin’s wedding ceremony back in November of 2022.

This piece was meant as a one year anniversary gift for my cousin to gift his now wife, Maryssa. I had originally started the piece as a “live” painting, but as time progressed, I knew I wanted to complete the piece with 100% certainty.
