Marilyn Monroe silenced

£999.00

MARILYN MONROE SILENCED

Marilyn Monroe was more than an icon — she was a woman whose voice was often drowned out by image, expectation, and control.

This work reimagines her portrait through layers of ceramic and water-based paint. The mouth is sealed, her lips covered, the face fractured by textures and splashes — a deliberate interruption of beauty. It is not defacement, but defiance: a reminder of how women, even legends, are often silenced in plain sight.

For me, this piece is both homage and protest. A way of saying: we still see you, even beneath the noise, even when your voice was taken.

Description:

  • Medium: Ceramic detail on lips, water-based paint on print

  • Framed
