And that leads us to a recent success story - It’s not every day that an Instagram post leads to a personal connection between a world-class athlete and an artist, but that’s exactly what happened when Coco Gauff came across a video showcasing a stunning painting of her US Open victory. The vibrant portrait, created by Hype Boss client and contemporary artist Kyle Lucks, caught her eye, sparking a conversation that turned admiration into ownership. Now, the painting stands as a personal keepsake of one of Coco’s greatest achievements.

The story about Coco Gauff purchasing Kyle Lucks’ painting after seeing it on Instagram was featured on WPTV, Yahoo News, and in The Palm Beach Post. 


Kyle’s painting was more than just a tribute; it was a celebration of Coco’s historic win and the legacy of equality in tennis. The artwork features Coco holding the iconic Tiffany-designed trophy with tennis legend Billie Jean King reflected in its sterling silver surface—a nod to the pioneering fight for equal pay in sports. Every detail in the painting tells a story, from its bold colors to the emotional resonance of Coco’s triumph on the court.

The connection between artist and athlete began when Kyle shared a behind-the-scenes video of the painting on Instagram. The video captured the energy and emotion of Coco’s momentous victory, bringing the artwork to life in a way that resonated with audiences—including Coco herself. After seeing the video, Coco reached out to Kyle, and the two finalized the purchase. Shortly after, Kyle delivered the painting to Coco personally in Delray Beach, creating a full-circle moment for both.

This sale is a shining example of how artists can connect with their audiences in meaningful ways through social media. By sharing his process and the story behind the painting, Kyle didn’t just showcase his talent—he created a moment that resonated deeply with one of the world’s most celebrated athletes.

The collaboration between Kyle and Coco is a reminder of how creativity and storytelling can bring people together. For Coco, the painting is a lasting tribute to her journey and achievements. For Kyle, it’s another milestone in a career dedicated to capturing the stories of iconic athletes and cultural figures.
