RETURN TO PARADISE
By Francisco Caballero
This mixed media painting explores the dual meaning of paradise in Elvis Presley’s life and legacy. The title “Return to Paradise” speaks to both his spiritual journey to eternal rest and his profound connection to the Hawaiian Islands, where he created some of his most memorable work and performances.
Hawaii held special significance for Elvis through his beloved films “Blue Hawaii,” “Girls! Girls! Girls!” and “Paradise, Hawaiian Style,” where he sang classics like “Blue Hawaii” and the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” against the islands’ stunning natural beauty. But perhaps most notably, Hawaii became the setting for his legendary 1973 “Aloha from Hawaii” concert—broadcast live via satellite to over a billion viewers worldwide, cementing both his global reach and his connection to the islands.
In this piece, I invite viewers to imagine Elvis in his eternal paradise, forever connected to the islands that gave him joy both as an artist and as a man seeking peace in their timeless beauty.
