Limited Edition Print 3 of 20 Mixed Media on Canvas Fine-Art-Print Hand signed & numbered by the Artist, with a certificate of authenticity. Please note that this artwork ships within 10 working days, as it is printed on demand. This self-portrait is part of my series "Being Marilyn Monroe. Icon Portraits.", a series of self-portraits reflecting and expressing my admiration for and my identification with inspiring modern day icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Frida Kahlo, Audrey Hepburn, Maria Callas, Romy Schneider, Michael Jackson, Grace Kelly and Niki de Saint Phalle. "La Divina" Maria Callas was an artist through and through. I admire her for her absolute dedication to art and love. She was working very hard. From youth up Maria lived exclusively for the opera. She wanted to become the greatest soprano singer in the world, and she did and she was until she met Aristotle Onassis. From that moment on, Maria the singer became Maria the woman. Her love for Onassis was true, deep, absolute and full of passion, like her performance in art. When Onassis married Jackie Kennedy, Maria became a broken woman. She even lost her voice. Her last years she passed lonesome in her appartement in Paris where she died at 54, only shortly after Onassis' death. My icon self-portrait series is influenced by the work of surrealist female artists like Frida Kahlo and Niki de St. Phalle as well as by Italian author Luigi Pirandello's post-modernist approach on identity theory. And it is based on a series of coincidences, that brought me to explore and re-think the inherent nature of portraying, providing a practical meaning to the American poet William Carlos Williams' quote: «The artist is always and forever painting only one thing: a self-portrait». "Being Maria Callas" is also available for a lower price as limited edition fine art canvas print without frame, shipped in a tube. Feel free to contact me!

Born in Germany, Martina Rall studied Italian and German literature as well as linguistics at the Universities of Tübingen and Parma/Italy (M.A.), and later on Fine Arts at the Academy of Arts in Nürtingen. She worked first as a concept and graphic designer before she devoted herself to her artistic career. As a multi-faceted artist, Martina Rall uses different techniques and materials in her artworks: graphics, paintings, photographs and writings. In Art she focuses on a mixed media series of Icon Self Portraits "Being Marilyn Monroe" and a photo series about “Artists in Action”, portraying European artists from various fields: musicians, authors and actors at work, to explore the creative process and the fascination of art. From Pop Art to Cindy Sherman photography or Russian cinematography, the inspiration behind her work combines an interesting blend of artistic expressions. Her mixed media selfportrait series “Being Marilyn Monroe. Icon Portraits” is influenced by the work of surrealist female artists like Frida Kahlo and Niki de St. Phalle as well as by Italian author Luigi Pirandello's post-modernist approach on identity theory. A series of coincidences brought Martina Rall to explore and re-think the inherent nature of her work and provides a practical meaning to the American poet William Carlos Williams' quote:' «The artist is always and forever painting only one thing: a self-portrait».
