"Seek" 2024

Dimensions: 100 x 130 cm

Medium: Spray paint and silkscreen on screen-print panel

Artist: Maximilian Wiedemann

In “Seek,” Wiedemann fuses iconic portraiture with spiritual provocation. At first glance, a radiant Marilyn Monroe emerges through layers of pop-infused silkscreening—yet it’s the words that hold you still:
“WHAT YOU SEEK IS SEEKING YOU.”
A quote attributed to Rumi, now burned into neon-toned nostalgia.

This piece marries duality: fame and philosophy, desire and reflection. Wiedemann’s hallmark technique—composed of intricate micro-portraits—forces the viewer to step closer, only to be confronted by the message’s quiet urgency. Monroe, the eternal symbol of longing and projection, becomes the vessel for a universal truth.

Gold melts into rose and acid pink, casting a euphoric glow that changes depending on the light, location, and mood of the room. It’s a conversation piece that speaks louder than its size—a mirror for anyone chasing meaning, identity, or beauty.

This is not just a portrait. It’s a mantra for collectors who understand that art isn’t something you find—it finds you.
