“La bella muerte” (Beautiful death), 2011

Yasmin Hernandez

Acrylic on canvas

24” x 18”

Portrait of Frida Kahlo, with a palette inspired by her Caza Azul. The images are inspired by el día de los muertos and Frida’s brave and enthusiastic anticipation of her own death as a source of liberation. Also the leaves/ roots are inspired by doodles in her journal and similar references in her body of work.
