Marilyn Monroe

Acrylic on canvas.

20x24x0.60"

Marilyn Monroe has been a constant presence in my artistic life. I have painted dozens of her portraits and continue to return to her image without exhaustion. For me, she is not only an icon of popular culture but a complex visual language of light, vulnerability, and constructed identity.

I work from both well-known and lesser-seen photographs, translating them through my own palette and painterly interpretation. Each portrait becomes less a reproduction and more a dialogue between myth and personal vision, allowing me to explore femininity, memory, and the tension between public image and inner presence.
