Frida's Heart
(Remix of my Soldaderas mural, 2011)
Enhanced print, Acrylic paint and ink on canvas board
8x10 inches
 
Frida's Heart is a remix of Kahlo’s image from my Soldadera's mural. In this case, the green of the Mexican flag is extended into leaves and foliage. Frida's severed blood vessels from her heart, as they appear in her "las dos Fridas" painting, are also extended throughout the composition.

"Soldaderas" is a mural I painted in the Modesto Flores Community Garden in El Barrio/ East Harlem, NYC. It is a tribute to Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos, honoring the common work, struggle and legacies of both mujeres. Inspired by Frida Kahlo's' famous painting "Las dos Fridas," Frida and Julia sit side by side, hand in hand as a symbol of sisterhood and Mexican/ Puerto Rican solidarity.

Remixes are intimate alternatives to the usual print reproduction as each one is enhanced and remixed to create a new, unique, original work of art combining collage, color pencil, ink, acrylic paint, or other materials.
