if Freda Kahlo were someone else ... surrealism would be entirely different image done in salutary epic surrealism
An intricate tapestry-like painting depicts a central portrait of Frida Kahlo, styled with a floral halo, dark hair braided on top of her head, and a multi-layered gold necklace with a large red pendant. She wears a black dress with red and gold embroidery. On her left side is a black cat with a gold collar, and on her right is a reddish-brown fox with a gold chain. Her hands are clasped at the bottom center. The ornate gold frame has scrolling patterns and circular portraits of women in profile at the top corners and bottom left. The background is a rich red with various flowers and golden sun-like motifs. Interspersed are landscape scenes and starry night skies, one with a crescent moon over mountains and another with an aurora borealis. The overall style is reminiscent of Art Nouveau and Byzantine art, with bold colors and detailed patterns.
