“Madonna” is a 59×89 cm acrylic and collage on cardboard created in 2021. Layers of vibrant torn paper, photographs and bold brushstrokes unite to honor the pop icon’s musical legacy and personal heritage. Collaged text fragments—“Like a Prayer,” “Cherish,” “La Isla Bonita”—float amid dynamic reds, blues and greens. Subtle Jewish motifs, such as a Star of David silhouette, emerge within the background, paying tribute to her faith. The energetic, abstract ground pulses with marks and drips that symbolize Madonna’s unstoppable vitality and creative spirit. This mixed-media portrait fuses devotional symbolism and pop culture in a celebration of resilience and artistry.
