Marilyn Monroe remains one of the most recognisable and enduring cultural icons of the twentieth century. More than a Hollywood star, she became a symbol of confidence, glamour and timeless style. In this original mixed media portrait, I wanted to capture not only her beauty but also the strength and complexity that lay behind her public image.
Created using my signature deconstructed lens technique, the artwork combines photography with expressive layers of acrylic paint, artist gels, texture and bold brushstrokes. The layered composition invites the viewer to look beyond the familiar portrait and discover new details, movement and emotion with every viewing.
Rather than recreating a photograph, this painting celebrates Marilyn's lasting influence on art, fashion and popular culture. Rich textures and contemporary colour bring a fresh perspective to one of the world's most celebrated icons, creating a portrait that feels both familiar and original.
Part of my Icons Collection, this original mixed media painting is designed for collectors who appreciate contemporary portraiture and statement artwork that brings personality, elegance and conversation into a home.
 
Whether displayed in a living room, dressing room, hallway or modern interior, this original Marilyn Monroe artwork creates a striking focal point while celebrating an icon whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
