A Letter to Far Away, Frida Kahlo, exotic woman art

When I look at this painting… She is looking at me… questioning. She is recreating her world by leaving it behind.

What a beautiful painting, I feel a lot of passion in it. I love the color and the textures. Wonderful piece Eva!

The congruity of human and equine form gives a sense of dancing to the same kinetic rhythm. Where do the lines of the woman and the lines of the horse divide— they are (in a sense) one —unified in the flight, yet distinct. A magical ride.

I can clearly see the influence of Russian and other East European forms of religious iconography in this work. This is a very brave use of the vivid red from her hair across the composition, but then another trademark of your work is your use of hair to symbolize love, death and hope etc.

I missed this somehow before. Very nice work Eva. I love the color’s that you have used here and the way the imagery flows around the works is very well done!

I also enjoy the way your figures blend and merge and blend into the backgrounds of your work. It reminds me of stained glass windows and European iconography.
