Marilyn Monroe in Blue

Marilyn Monroe in Blue reimagines one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century through a contemplative, modern lens. Rendered in oil with nuanced brushwork and a restrained blue palette, the painting explores the contrast between public persona and private interiority.

The cool tones evoke both glamour and distance, suggesting vulnerability beneath the surface of fame. Rather than focusing on spectacle, this portrait emphasizes mood, presence, and psychological depth—inviting the viewer to linger in the quiet space between myth and humanity.

This work reflects an ongoing exploration of identity, beauty, and the emotional weight carried by cultural icons. Both intimate and commanding, Marilyn Monroe in Blue stands as a meditation on timeless allure and the complexities hidden behind it.
