Today, artists continue to experiment with different techniques and mediums, finding new ways to capture the essence of famous personalities in their abstract and modern portraits.

Notable original contemporary Celebrity Portraits artworks
Contemporary celebrity portraits have been a popular subject for artists in recent years. One well-known artwork is "Queen" by Kehinde Wiley, created in 2005. The portrait depicts a young black woman wearing a crown and holding a scepter, surrounded by a colorful floral background. It challenges traditional notions of power and beauty by placing a woman of color in a position of authority.
Another famous contemporary celebrity portrait is "Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird" by Frida Kahlo, painted in 1940. The artwork shows the artist with a thorn necklace around her neck and a hummingbird perched on her shoulder. It is a deeply personal piece that reflects Kahlo’s physical and emotional pain, as well as her love of nature.
A more recent addition to the canon of celebrity portraits is "The Obama Portraits" by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, created in 2018. The paintings depict Barack and Michelle Obama in a regal, yet approachable manner. Wiley’s portrait of Barack Obama features the former president seated in a chair surrounded by foliage, while Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama shows her against a bright blue background, wearing a flowing dress.
Finally, "Marilyn Diptych" by Andy Warhol, created in 1962, is a classic example of a contemporary celebrity portrait. The artwork is made up of 50 silkscreened images of Marilyn Monroe, arranged in a grid pattern. It highlights the cult of celebrity and the commodification of fame, while also serving as a tribute to Monroe’s enduring legacy.
