Cerise Sophia

From the Pink Icons Series - Inspired by my love of classic cinema, this series pays tribute to the glamorous icons of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s—bold, beautiful, and unapologetically themselves.

Fierce. Feminine. Unforgettable.
Cerise Sophia honours the sultry strength of Sophia Loren — a woman who captivated the world not just with her beauty, but with her fire, wit, and unapologetic confidence.

Bathed in fiery pinks, rich cerise, and warm metallic textures, this portrait channels Sophia’s bold spirit and Italian glamour. Adorned in jewels and framed by passionate brushstrokes, she stands as a timeless muse — fearless, full of life, and always in command of the room.

My process involves collage, textured pasts, inks and gold foil for abstract background. Then charcoal, acrylics and finished off with oils for depth and gloss.

All originals come with Certificate of Authenticity
