Sailing with Marilyn

Sailing with Marilyn

$3,400.00

In Sailing with Marilyn, Mercado captures the timeless allure of Marilyn Monroe, an icon whose image has transcended generations. More than just a Hollywood star, Marilyn embodied femininity, resilience, and the American dream, a duality of vulnerability and strength that continues to inspire artists worldwide.

By placing Marilyn on a boat along the Colombian coast, the artist merges her elegance with the dynamic beauty of her homeland. The sea, much like Marilyn, is both powerful and serene, a contrast that resonates deeply with the artist’s vision. Known for painting women, she often finds a natural connection between their grace and the landscapes that surround them.

This piece is more than a tribute; it is a fusion of cultures, a dialogue between the universal and the personal. By reimagining Marilyn in this setting, the artist celebrates her enduring presence while weaving in the rich textures and vibrant energy of the Colombian coast. It is a testament to the beauty that connects us all across time, place, and identity.
