Monica B: blue (2026) Giclée print by Marco Paludet

• This portrait depicts Monica Bellucci, the renowned Italian actress and international film icon, in an intimate close-up composition. Her eyes are closed as one hand rests gently against her face, while the other holds a cigarette, creating a relaxed and unmistakably cinematic pose that emphasizes her characteristic elegance and presence.

The figure is rendered in a restrained blue monochrome, with delicate linework and carefully controlled tonal shading defining the face, flowing hair, shoulders, and hands. Subtle washes, stains, and scattered marks interrupt the otherwise precise drawing, introducing a contemporary, expressive quality to the portrait.

The combination of the cigarette, closed eyes, and composed expression gives the image the atmosphere of a private cinematic moment, while the cool monochromatic treatment distances it from a conventional celebrity portrait. The work focuses on gesture, attitude, and the distinctive visual presence of Monica Bellucci, bringing together Italian cinema, feminine beauty, and contemporary figurative drawing.
