Diva Plavalaguna Painting | The Fifth Element Pop Art

Diva Plavalaguna — 2016

12” × 9” | Oil on Fine Art Paper | Original, Unframed

An otherworldly icon from one of cinema’s most unforgettable films.

Sharmaine Rayner’s Diva Plavalaguna reimagines the enigmatic opera singer from Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element through a richly layered Pop Art and Fan Art lens. Set against a cosmic backdrop and an ornate, almost celestial halo, the blue-skinned Diva becomes something more than a film character — she becomes an icon of beauty, mystery, and the strange magic of cult cinema.

Painted in 5+ layers of oil on fine art paper, the piece combines Rayner’s fascination with character, symbolism, and vivid color with the unmistakable visual mythology of The Fifth Element.

The painting has been clear coated to help preserve the surface, color, and layered finish while providing protection against scratching, chipping, and UV exposure.

This is an original, one-of-a-kind painting from 2016, sold unframed so the collector can choose how they wish to mount and display it.
