Christina Major’s "Marilyn - A Wise Girl" is a striking contemporary portrait that seamlessly blends realism with expressive text overlays, creating an artwork that is both visually arresting and conceptually rich. Measuring 77.5 x 64 inches, this mixed-media painting captures the timeless allure of Marilyn Monroe, her piercing gaze and iconic red lips emerging through layers of hand-painted script. The interplay of cool and warm tones enhances the depth of her expression, while the carefully integrated text—featuring Monroe’s own words—adds a narrative dimension that invites viewers to reflect on the contrast between fame and vulnerability.
