Marilyn Monroe Fear Is Stupid So Are Regrets












Marilyn Monroe Fear Is Stupid So Are Regrets
This original hand-painted acrylic on board piece reimagines classic Hollywood glamour through a bold pop-art lens. Inspired by vintage comic aesthetics and mid-century iconography, the portrait combines clean graphic linework, meticulous hand-painted Ben-Day dots, and a restrained monochrome palette to create a striking balance of nostalgia and modern attitude.
The confident gaze and softly parted lips echo the timeless allure of a golden-era screen icon, while the tattoo-style heart and uncompromising text—“Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”—inject contemporary defiance. It’s a piece about courage, self-belief, and choosing action over hesitation.
Painted entirely by hand, this work celebrates craftsmanship in an age of digital shortcuts. The surface reveals subtle brush textures and deliberate mark-making, reinforcing its authenticity as a one-of-a-kind original rather than a print or reproduction.
A powerful statement artwork, perfect for collectors drawn to pop art, vintage Hollywood, and pieces that combine visual impact with a strong emotional message.
