Andrea Stajan-Ferkul
The Last Sitting 2 - (Marilyn Monroe's last photo series)

About the Item

The combination of intricate detail and intuitive mark-making expresses a feminine, ethereal aesthetic, both expressive and refined. This painting was inspired by the last series of photos taken of Marilyn Monroe by photographer Bert Stern in 1962. The photo shoot was commissioned by Vogue magazine and titled The Last Sitting.

While not exclusive to fashion, dresses have been a compositional focus throughout her oeuvre. With an emphasis on timelessness, her series of dress paintings shift between realistic representation and interpretive impressions. In contrast, her series of abstract works embrace minimalism, considerate to a restrained palette and composition. Stajan-Ferkul began her career in fashion advertising before shifting her focus to fine art in 2000. Her work has been exhibited widely through galleries and art fairs, and hangs in private and public collections across Canada, US and Europe. A graduate of Sheridan College of Art and Design, Stajan-Ferkul's paintings can be found in numerous public and private collections, her work has been published in magazines and book covers, and prints are distributed internationally. In 2009, Stajan-Ferkul was invited to exhibit her work in Ottawa’s Rideau Hall, hosted by (then) Governor General of Canada, Michaëlle Jean.
