Marilyn by Danu is a life-size figurative sculpture made from stove-enameled heavy-gauge steel. Signed and numbered 2 of 80, it stands 129 cm high

The sculpture depicts a nude woman in a playful, seductive pose. She reclines gracefully, propped up on her elbows, with both legs lifted off the ground. One leg bends at the knee, toes pointing downward, while the other extends straight upward toward the sky. This dynamic arrangement creates a flowing, rhythmic line that guides the viewer’s eye along her body.

The blue-green enamel emphasizes the sleek contours of her figure. Light interacts with the surface, highlighting the curves and subtle angles. From different perspectives, the sculpture conveys both motion and stillness. The posture captures sensuality, balance, and confident elegance simultaneously.

Marilyn transforms steel into an expressive celebration of the human form. The bold colour and fluid lines contrast with the industrial material, giving the piece a contemporary vibrancy. Whether displayed indoors or in a garden, the sculpture engages viewers and invites them to explore it from multiple angles.

Danu’s work blends minimalism and realism, using simple forms to convey complex emotion and presence. Marilyn exemplifies the artist’s ability to merge abstraction, elegance, and sensuality in a single, unforgettable steel silhouette.
