AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Acrylic on canvas
Original artwork | Certificate of Authenticity included
This expressive acrylic portrait of Marilyn Monroe reimagines an iconic Hollywood muse through bold colour, texture, and emotion. Layers of electric pinks, fiery reds, turquoise blues, and molten gold collide across the canvas, transforming a familiar figure into something raw, modern, and deeply human.
Thick palette-knife textures and gestural brushstrokes break away from perfection, revealing vulnerability beneath glamour. The cool blue background creates contrast and calm, allowing the vivid, almost chaotic energy of the subject to take centre stage — a visual dialogue between strength and softness, fame and fragility.
This piece is not about nostalgia. It is about reclaiming identity, celebrating femininity, and reminding us that icons are not static — they are always evolving.
Each original artwork comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its uniqueness and value.
A striking statement piece for collectors who are drawn to bold colour, emotional storytelling, and contemporary portraiture.
