The Vertigo of Marilyn explores the fragile boundary between glamour and vulnerability. Seen from behind and suspended high above the city, the figure evokes both the iconic presence of Marilyn Monroe and the universal experience of confronting uncertainty, desire and freedom.
Cool blue tones create a dreamlike urban depth while warmer flesh tones bring the figure into sharp emotional focus. The tension between monumental architecture and the exposed human body becomes a metaphor for courage, loneliness and self-discovery. Energetic, visible brushstrokes balance figurative representation with painterly abstraction.
