A funny pic I wanted to do... well, not that funny, I just portrayed Frida Kahlo in a way I imagine her if she was an animal...

I'm not a fan of her bcause of her celebrity life and the current fashion that she has... I like her paintings because with a simple portrait she could express all the chaos in her heart.

I just imagined her as a cat, she is a mixture of wild animals trapped in a sick woman's body. She was elegant and deep, bad mooded and strong looking, I had a cat who was just like her, so elegant but if you came near and tried to play, she always was so full of herself and started to play with her rules... I imagine Frida this way.

This was based on the "Self-Portrait with Monkey" painting she did.

All was made with acrylics and colored pencils. it has 2 layers of glossy sealant wich gave it a very unfinished look but that works in the overall image, because it looks like a rustic painting on wood. I loved the results
