Two 40×60 cm mixed‑media LED artworks, Marilyn Monroe and Frida Kahlo, in a Pop Art diptych titled BUBBLE GUM LEGENDS, produced in Italy in 2023, editioned to 100 copies each with a hand‑signed and numbered COA, featuring hand‑applied pink and blue LED neon on a 1 cm Forex support; frame not included, sold directly from the artist.
Description from the seller
Subject and Theme:
"BUBBLE GUM LEGENDS" is an ironic and luminous diptych that places side by side two women who have become legends for opposite reasons: Marilyn Monroe, symbol of Hollywood glamour, and Frida Kahlo, the painter who turned her own face into a work of art.
Both are caught in a gesture that is everyday and almost adolescent: inflating a bubble of chewing gum.
Marilyn appears with half-closed eyes, sensual and relaxed, on an explosion of red, fuchsia, blue and turquoise color splashes. Her bubble lights up with a bright pink neon that tints her face and makes her earrings gleam.
Frida, with the flower crown and unmistakable eyebrows, emerges from a worn, grainy wall covered in faded writings. Her gaze remains proud and direct, while the bubble lights up with electric blue neon that breaks the portrait’s sternness.
Technique and Creation:
Both works combine screen printing on a rigid support with hand-applied LED neon, outlining the bubble.
Two different languages dialogue with each other: on one side the brighter pop art, made of saturated colors and splashes in the manner of action painting, on the other a poster-style urban texture, with cool tones, scratches and drips.
Hanging together, the two lights, pink and blue, mingle on the wall and create a warm, nocturnal atmosphere that transforms the room.
Inspiration and Curiosity:
The neon colors are not random. The pink evokes the famous dress worn by Marilyn in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," one of cinema history’s most famous looks. The blue is a tribute to the Casa Azul in Coyoacán, Frida’s family home where she was born and lived, now a museum dedicated to her.
A diva built by the star system and an artist who told her story through her self-portraits: two opposite ways of becoming an icon, here grounded by the same irreverent gesture.
A diptych designed for those who love pop culture and art that can smile at its own myths.

Our work focuses on the fusion of art and technology, bringing to life luminous artworks that tell stories through the creative use of LED lights.

Our works are not simple decorations, but visual experiences that transform spaces and offer a new way to perceive art.

Our goal is to offer pieces that not only decorate but tell stories and move people, bringing luminous art to an ever-wider international audience.
