About this work

Marilyn is a four-part portrait series that reimagines one of the most recognisable figures in modern culture through bold colour, repetition and variation. Inspired by the enduring presence of Marilyn Monroe in popular imagery, the series explores how a familiar face can take on different meanings when viewed through changing palettes and perspectives. Each portrait presents a distinct interpretation of the same subject, creating subtle shifts in mood, personality and emotional tone. Together, the works move beyond simple likeness to examine the relationship between identity and image—how an individual becomes an icon, and how that icon continues to evolve through memory, media and artistic reinterpretation. Created in acrylic on paper, the series combines expressive brushwork with vibrant colour contrasts, celebrating both the visual impact of Pop Art and the timeless fascination surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s legacy.
