Employing a multilayered old master technique reminiscent of the "Brown School" painters of the 16th to 19th centuries, I used universal warm-brown hues to create a sense of depth and shadow. In the painting, Marilyn appears to be emerging from the darkness, with only her face, hands, and a narrow strip of her torso and thigh visible in the light. One hand is pointed at her heart, emphasizing the emotional impact of the piece, while the other rests on her thigh.
But the true magic of this piece lies in its symbolism. As Marilyn stands (or appears to stand, as she is actually kneeling in the original photo) surrounded by a dark brown vignette, she seems to be rising from the shadows with a subtle smile on her face. It is as if she is ready to face the world with grace and poise.
In creating this tribute to Marilyn Monroe, I was driven by a desire to capture her spirit and beauty. Through careful research and experimentation with various compositions, I arrived at the final version you see here. Each stroke of paint was applied with intention, building up the texture and depth of the piece.
As I worked on this piece, I was struck by the duality of the chiaroscuro contrast. The darkness that surrounds Marilyn seems to symbolize the struggles and shadows that we all carry within us. Yet, the light that illuminates her face, chest and hand pointing at the heart represents the spark of hope that shines through the darkness, chasing away the night just as the first rays of the morning sun do.
This spark of hope is like a ray of light that is especially important in the depths of darkness, much like the light we rely on underwater to guide us through the shadows. It is this hope that gives us the strength to keep going and to rise above the challenges we face.
I believe that this duality of light and dark, of hope and struggle, exists within all of us. And as I painted Marilyn emerging from the shadows, I hoped to capture that universal truth and to remind us of the power of hope to guide us through even the darkest of times.
I hope that this portrait of Marilyn Monroe speaks to you as it does to me. Whether you are a fan of the actress, a collector of fine art, or simply appreciate a beautifully crafted piece, I believe you will find something special in this work. Let it serve as a reminder of Marilyn's enduring allure and the power of artistic expression.

As an artist, I believe that art is a doorway to other dimensions – mysterious, limitless, and spiritual – inspiring beauty and amazement. My goal is to create artwork that allows people to experience things that would otherwise be impossible for them.
Using light as a symbol for divinity, blessing, and knowledge, I aim to transform negative belief systems into positive ones through my paintings. This divine light transcends time and space and signifies our potential for divinity – the ability to achieve what seems unattainable.
Art is also powerful because it allows us to comprehend metaphysical ideas, offering us a physical illustration that we can emotionally understand. Through my art, I hope to reveal the spiritual potential within ourselves and create a beautiful and harmonious world.
Drawing inspiration from mythology, myths, and legends, I tell epic stories through my paintings as if they are part of a grand myth. In these stories, people become heroic figures and the only reality is the divine will each of us possess – our thoughts determine the outcome of the plot.
I hold oil painting in the highest regard, as it is the most venerable, superior, and esteemed form of painting. To me, there is no better way to communicate visual ideas with their beauty, form, light, and magnificence than through oil painting. Using classical oil painting techniques, I am able to emulate and recreate reality and fancy with unparalleled realism. It is the most fitting way to manifest my ideas, and I am always eager to explore the possibilities of oil painting.
My painting aims and principles are to express archetypal forms and themes, independent of the spirit of the age, to bring the eternal and the timeless to life; to depict beauty and harmony in a sensual way; to create elegance with graceful and stylized forms; to capture pathos and emotions; and to gain the highest level of pictorial knowledge and craft through continuous learning and self-education.
A little about me: I was born in 1975 in Stockholm and began my fine arts studies in Sweden at the Konstskolan i Stockholm. In 1999, I moved to Budapest to study oil painting and restoration at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts until 2004. Since then, I have been working as a freelance painter and illustrator, completing assignments for clients all over the world. My work includes portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and more, and I also teach drawing and painting in my studio in Budapest. I am a true master of my craft, using oil paints and pastels to create realistic and dream-like works of art that capture the beauty of the world around us.
