Mimmo Rotella — Marilyn bellezza eterna
Mimmo Rotella

Marilyn bellezza eterna

A vibrant and dynamic work by Italian decollage pioneer Mimmo Rotella, this piece pays homage to the enduring iconography of Marilyn Monroe through bold screenprinted colours layered onto linen stretched over a wooden frame. The inclusion of collage elements reflects Rotella's signature engagement with mass media imagery and popular culture, echoing the visual language of advertising and celebrity. The work celebrates Monroe as an eternal symbol of beauty and glamour, her image fragmented and reimagined through Rotella's distinctly Pop-inflected artistic vision.
