Original Artwork
Polychrome mixed-media reinterpretation inspired by a cultural or photographic reference. Through strong color contrasts, layered textures, and dynamic compositions, the work reshapes the initial source into a Polychrome visual language.
ARTIST: Among my favourite artists...
Born in 1907, Kahlo was a queer, disabled Surrealist painter (a lot of dramas : polio and weakness in her arm, gangrene and amputation, bus accident and very serious injuries).
She defied gendered clothing norms and refused to be limited by societal gender stereotypes. Although she rejected the beauty standards and lifestyle expectations forced upon women, she embraced and often took artistic inspiration from her womanhood.
This painting is a tribute to this feminist who struggled for Women's freedom...
Acrylic painting on canvas, varnish. Main character painted with brushes, no stencil.
Original photo credit: unknown. If the photographer identifies themselves, I will gladly credit them.
