In a dreamlike landscape, full of charm and mystery, the face of a wonderful icon, Marilyn Monroe, materializes and comes to life.
The work I created is a surreal portrait, created through a play of optical illusions. I wanted to combine natural elements to bring her face to life. I chose a golden beach, a tree with autumn leaves, and a wooden boat, suggesting a sense of transition and change.
To create a strong visual impact, I used bright colors and bold contrasts: the blue of the sky, the yellow of the beach, the brown of the tree, and the bright red of her lips. I inserted the silhouette of a couple walking on the beach, adding depth and complexity to the image.
My goal was to pay homage to Marilyn Monroe, capturing her iconic essence in a unique artistic form that encourages the viewer to see beyond the surface and discover the hidden details within the work.
A work for dreamers and visionaries.
