Azam's latest work honouring Italian screen legend Sophia Loren connects to Azam’s broader exploration of identity and legacy. His previous portraits of Malala Yousafzai and Queen Elizabeth II similarly reflect on the ways public figures exist both personally and in the collective imagination. By painting Loren, he continues this dialogue, exploring how fame transforms an individual into a global symbol.

Commissioned by Marea Beverly Hills, and on display at the entrance of the newly opened West Coast outpost of the famous New York restaurant, the oil painting offers an artistic reflection on fame, beauty, and cultural memory.

 
Sophia is on permanent display at Marea, 430 N. Camden Drive, Beverly Hills 90210
