The painting titled "Early Influence" by the artist Juan “One” Sepúlveda is a tribute to a man who had an early influence in many people, businesses and industries. From his early influence in the development of plastic food storage products to his influence upon direct sales, Earl Tupper has set an example for innovators and business people alike.

The artist, Juan “One” Sepúlveda, was inspired to create this painting to commemorate the early influence, which Earl Tupper had on him. While growing up, the artist didn’t know that many of the toys with which he played were made by Tupperware. It wasn't until 2001, when he began working for Tupperware headquarters in Orlando, Florida, that he realized how much more his life had been influenced by the legacy of Earl Tupper.

In the painting, the image in the background is a Mosaic Impressionism portrait of Earl Tupper. The Mosaic Impressionism is a signature technique used by Juan “One” Sepúlveda, in which many individually painted blocks of color are used to create the illusion of a mosaic. This meticulously arranged mosaic, when looked at from a distance or by squinting the eyes, reveals a portrait of the subject. This original painting is almost 4 feet tall, which enhances the illusion when viewed in person. These blocks of color which together form a complex image can be looked at as a metaphor for the building blocks necessary to create a successful enterprise, similar to the legacy left behind by Earl Tupper.

This painting has formed part of various exhibitions through Central Florida and its currently part of the artist’s private collection. Other Mosaic Impressionism paintings by Juan “One” Sepúlveda include other individuals who have been influential to his life and career, like his Mother, Jesus and the surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
