Diego y Frida Painting

Trevisan pays homage to the great mexican painter Frida Kalho by faithfully reproducing her 1949 self-portrait "Diego y yo" and renaming it "Diego y Frida". The original 1949 Frida Kahlo self-portrait "Diego y yo" sold for a record-breaking $34.9 million at a Sotheby's auction in november 2021. The painting is now the most expensive Latin American artwork sold at an auction. The Trevisan's oil painting measures 30 x 22.4 cm oil on masonite and is mounted on a antique decorated solid wood frame 57 x 50 cm which faithfully reproduces the original frame of the original painting. Trevisan enters the surrealist world of Kahlo with this painting that is a double portrait: in addition to Kahlo a small image of her husband and the famous Mexican painter Diego Rivera is also painted in the center of his forehead. A sort of third eye, the same one that Rivera presents, as if to symbolize the enormous degree of pervasiveness with which Rivera has occupied Frida's conscience. This painting depicts a visibly distraught Kahlo, after yet another betrayal by her husband, and she can't hold back her tears. Her hair, usually gathered in braids, is loose and almost seems to strangle her; she has flushed cheeks and an intense, tearful gaze. Her pain is reciprocated in a raw and direct way, her atmosphere is pervaded with restlessness and anguish. The cause of this anguish is her husband Diego, for whom her eyebrows serve as a platform. And a third eye, which alludes to Rivera's prevailing mental and visual acuity, opens on the spouse's forehead. The painting therefore presents a pyramid of five eyes that observe and scrutinize the outside of the pictorial work. Enigma and anguish of Kahlo who, under her thick black eyebrows, observes whoever stands in front of her in an enigmatic exchange of glances.
