For my inspiration, I use huge format in order to give the same impact that I had when I saw Frida Tehuana painting for the first time, I painted full of symbolisms, two abstract paintings around her face. One, with the metal mash that represent her pain through her life, (She described it as stiff)
The other abstract is embellish with a heart in Silver-leave, painted flowers and a skeleton that she adored. The abstracts and the way that I placed them, are the way that she will be upfront with her opinions about women rights. I also painted different hearts representing her life, her loves, a little image of Diego Rivera in a gold sun picture frame, embroidery butterflies. I finish this painting with a Museum quality Flexi glass box. Best painting in New York art fair 2019
