A Portrait Beyond the Thorns
Retrato sin collar de espinas pays tribute to Frida Kahlo and her iconic Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird. The composition revisits the direct gaze and symbolic stillness of Kahlo’s portrait while removing the thorn collar, leaving a quieter image focused on presence, identity and resilience.
Part of Crossover: When Pop Culture Meets the Old Masters, the painting places a contemporary tribute in conversation with the Old Masters and treats popular imagery as a living mythology. Across the series, familiar cultural figures and stories take on the symbolic role once held by saints, heroes and legendary characters.
