Frida in Gold and light

The metallic accents and the circular composition lend a nearly spiritual aura to this portrait of Frida. She appears here less as the suffering artist we often see, and more as an icon of strength, art, and eternity.

Viewers may experience Frida in a new way: not solely as the woman of sorrow and passion we recognize from her self-portraits, but also as a symbol of serenity, femininity, and enduring power. The abstract circles in the background introduce a dreamy element, almost as if Frida is placed in an alternative dimension where art and light take center stage.

• Medium: The stippling technique highlights detail and texture in a delicate way, fitting Frida’s refined facial features. The metallic paint in the background adds a modern and opulent layer to the composition, reinforcing her iconic status.
• Subject: Frida Kahlo is a powerful choice. She embodies art, emotion, and perseverance, and you’ve translated that in an original way. Instead of accentuating her pain, you give her a serene and elevated appearance here.
• Style: The circular background with metallic shades creates a timeless, almost sacred atmosphere. It evokes the idea of a halo or a stained-glass window, placing Frida in a near-mythological context.
• Format: A3 (29,7 x 42 cm / 11,7 x 16,5 inch)
