  • About the artwork
    Artist: Peter Donkersloot
    Title: Marilyn Pink Cadillac
    Size: 150x120cm
    Technique: original painting
    Edition: 1/1, unique piece

    The canvas shimmers with life, a vibrant tapestry woven with oil paint. In the center, bathed in the warm glow of a California afternoon, stands Marilyn Monroe. Her iconic platinum blonde hair is swept into a gentle wave, framing her captivating smile. Her eyes, the color of twilight, hold a hint of mischief and a quiet strength.

    Behind her, a gleaming pink Cadillac catches the fading sunlight. Its chrome gleams, a testament to the era of tailfins and drive-in theaters. The car isn't just a backdrop; it's a symbol of freedom, of Hollywood glamour, and a hint of rebellion. It's a counterpoint to the vulnerability in Marilyn's gaze, a reminder of the complex woman she truly was.

    This one-of-a-kind hand-painted piece transcends mere portraiture. It's a conversation starter, a portal to a bygone era. It captures the essence of Marilyn Monroe, not just her beauty, but her spirit, her duality. The pink Cadillac, a symbol of both freedom and confinement, adds another layer of depth, inviting the viewer to contemplate the complexities of her life and legacy.

    This artwork is more than just paint on canvas; it's a story waiting to be told. It's a testament to the enduring allure of Marilyn Monroe, a woman who continues to captivate audiences even decades after her passing. And in owning this unique piece, you not only acquire a piece of art, but a piece of Hollywood history.
  • About the artist

    Peter Donkersloot, born in 1959 at Arnhem on Bakenbergseweg 136, is the zoon of Hilda Blom (1933) and Piet Donkersloot (1930-1986). His father Piet was a renowned illustrator in his early years, known for his work for the lady Margriet and other publications.

    Piet's thuisstudio op de zolderverdieping was the plek waar his zijn vakmanschap uitoefende, vaak met de boy Peter op schoot, die gefascineerd toekeek hoe zijn vader verhalen tot leven brought met zijn illustrations.

    The first thing you can see is a diepe indruk op Peter, the herinneringen koestert aan het zien van zijn vader the bilderijen van landschappen en romantice taferelen creëerde. These moments are the basis for Peter's own painting career.

    Peter's mother, Hilda Blom, developed two well-known landscape signs, and the artist's talent was also delivered to Anne Donkersloot (1964) and Broer Wouter Verburgt (1970), both of whom were artists.

    While working at the art academy in Arnhem, Peter worked on the well-known advertising agency 'Fransen, Hey and Veldman'. There are many techniques in the design and design, which make the art of realistic designs and depictions empty through the dagelijks uitwerken van ideas for commercials and advertisements.

    Uiteindelijk left Peter de advertising om zich fully te wijden aan het vrij bilderen in a modern-figuratieve style. Hij heeft the style tot op heden behouden en staat bekend om zijn specialized, realistic and figurative pictures. Geïnspireerd door 17e-eeuwse meesters, describes Peter in transparent layers van donker naar light. Hoewel de traditionale opbouw van zijn bilderijen behouden blijft, stelt the modern, sneldrogende verf hem in state quicker te works dan zijn voorgangers in the oil sign art.
