Original artwork description:
It is the representation of a woman painted as a Mexican catrina, using exclusively splatters and drips of paint. Her face is dominated by vibrant green tones. The black hair and black catrina hat complete her distinctive appearance. Additionally, she wears a marigold flower in her hair and a rose in her mouth, painted in intense fluorescent red and yellow splashes. The marigold flower and the rose, originating from Europe, symbolize mestizaje, representing the blending of cultures. The woman is not indigenous but of mixed heritage.
The presence of the catrina in the painting immerses us in the rich cultural context of Mexico, particularly in the celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). The catrina is an iconic symbol of this celebration, merging life and death in a unique way.
Materials used:
Painting made with splatters and drips of acrylics, lacquers.
