Originally allotted, we had 25 minutes to complete the piece. Ballentine stunned the audience by finishing it in only 18, turning the stage into a moment of history, emotion, and artistry in motion. Each Queen honored in the event represents strength, compassion, and service to humanity — women who dedicate their lives to helping the homeless, the abused, and the broken.
“I’m not a speed artist – I’m a fine artist. But tonight was bigger than art,” said Ballentine. “It was about honoring humanity, healing, and showing what’s possible when purpose meets passion.”This performance marks a world record in live fine art painting, solidifying Andy Ballentine’s name among the most innovative and inspiring artists of his generation. Known internationally for his emotionally charged paintings and vibrant Jamaican energy, Ballentine continues to redefine the limits of creative expression.
The event, held on November 1, 2025, celebrated 25 Humanitarian Queens under the theme “Crowning Women Who Heal the World.” Ballentine’s live performance became the emotional highlight of the night, a moment of unity, power, and history.About Andy Ballentine:
