Marlene Dietrich
Original oil painting on canvas
20" x 24" / 51 cm x 61 cm, 2022
Marlene Dietrich – Timeless Elegance in oil. This highly detailed black-and-white oil portrait captures the legendary Marlene Dietrich, the German-born actress and singer who defined the golden age of Hollywood with her enigmatic beauty, bold charisma, and androgynous allure.
I chose to render this portrait in black and white to evoke the spirit of early cinema, where light and shadow sculpted faces into timeless icons. However, the black in this painting is not just black—it is a specially mixed deep brown, sepia-black, reminiscent of vintage film stock, adding warmth and depth to the monochrome tones. Her luminous skin emerges from the abyss of a deep, matte black background, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow. The glossy finish of the portrait enhances the realism, making her expression almost lifelike, while the background absorbs light, drawing the viewer into the cinematic drama of her gaze.
Every delicate brushstroke captures the softness of her classic waves, the subtle arch of her brows, and the knowing depth in her eyes—qualities that made Dietrich not only a star but an enduring symbol of strength, mystery, and rebellion.
