Marilyn Portrait "Reach out and touch Faith"

Russell Young's *Marilyn Portrait "Reach out and touch Faith"* merges the iconic imagery of Marilyn Monroe with the bold aesthetics of pop art through acrylic paint and screenprint on canvas. The addition of diamond dust lends the work a luminous, almost sacred quality, elevating Monroe's likeness into something simultaneously glamorous and ethereal. True to Young's signature style, the piece explores themes of fame, desire, and cultural mythology, blurring the line between idol and icon.
