Meet My Art – Achat d'oeuvre

This painting is inspired by the artist visit to the house of Frida Kahlo in Mexico City, and her painting "Viva la vida". "Viva la vida" is a simple painting of watermelons cut in different shapes. Looking at it the artist could imagine a lot of people, a family reunion or something and everybody is cutting the watermelon as they like. For Jelena, it was like a summer day and there was a massacred watermelon on the table. And so, in this still life our artist saw Frida with all her suffering and all the pain in her fragile body, celebrating life and all that it's made of.
