Acrylic, Glitter on Linen Glows at Night

By Reena Tolentino

Reena Tolentino’s David Bowie is an electrifying tribute to an icon who redefined music, fashion, and self expression. Painted with luminous acrylics and accented with glitter that catches the eye by day and emits a radiant glow by night, this portrait captures Bowie in an arresting orange shirt that amplifies his bold, otherworldly presence.

Tolentino renowned for her dynamic visual language and her celebrated portrayals of Hollywood’s most influential musicians and cultural trailblazers infuses this piece with both reverence and rebellion. Her signature style merges fine-art technique with a contemporary edge, transforming legendary figures into vibrant, living energy on linen. In this work, Bowie’s spirit feels both sweetly familiar and powerfully transcendent, a reminder of the artistic courage that made him timeless.
