Better late than ugly!
150 x 100 cm
Acrylic on canvas 2024
In this bold, expressive work, Audrey Hepburn—the eternal icon of grace and timeless beauty—is reimagined with a fresh, vibrant edge. Titled “Better Late Than Ugly,” this large-scale original captures the Hollywood legend in an intimate yet striking moment: applying lipstick, poised between elegance and rebellion.
Set against a backdrop of vivid pinks and gestural brushwork, the painting merges glamour with grit.
Buch’s signature drips, texture, and layered abstraction bring movement and emotion to the canvas, transforming a classic image into a contemporary statement.
This isn't just a portrait—it's an attitude!
A celebration of confidence, ritual, and unapologetic femininity, told through color, contrast, and charisma.
For collectors, this piece offers more than aesthetic appeal - it’s a conversation starter.
A fusion of Hollywood nostalgia and modern expressionism, perfect for curating a space that values personality, presence, and the art of iconic storytelling.
Fill your walls with dreams and emotions!
