Description from the seller

This bold, expressive portrait of Marilyn Monroe is a celebration of timeless femininity and fearless beauty. Created using palette knives, vibrant acrylics, and mixed media layers, the artwork captures Marilyn’s iconic presence with emotional depth and modern energy.

Her gaze is powerful yet vulnerable — surrounded by textured strokes of magenta, gold, and turquoise, this piece explores the contrast between public glamour and private emotion. The thick, layered textures invite you to feel the passion behind each mark — it's not just a portrait, it's a conversation between colour, texture, and soul.

Medium: Acrylic & Mixed Media on Canvas
Tools: Palette knives, brushes, and texture layers
Size: 90cm x 75cm
