hey, calling the art people out there
im doing an art project atm, and my chosen studio area is painting.
we are doing self portrait, and im using the influence of Frida Kahlo.
id like to do a self portrait with hands/hand in the image too, as that allows you to have more detail within the final image
any inspirational ideas for my piece? using Frida Kahlo as an influence, and painting as my studio area?
Are you looking for names of some of her works for your inspirational ideas?
If you do a search to look at some of her paintings, you might find some in which she is holding animals. One such work is ‘Me and My Parrots’, 1941.
Another self-portrait that shows her hands is ‘Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair’, 1948. In it she is wearing pant and a suit jacket, looking like a pant suit, which was just a bit ahead of its day and had almost an ‘avante-garde’ look that was once captured by Vogue magazine. the hair could be tied back. It would not have to be cut, for sure. Both her hands are showing in this one.
The picture she has painted of herself holding someone in her arms, titled in Spanish ‘El Abrazo de Amor del Universo, la Tierra (México), Diego,Yo y el Sr. Xoloti’, 1949, shows a few pairs of hands of different sizes.
If you look among her self-portraits with monkeys you hopefully will find some inspirational ideas with hands in the picture, depending on how prominent you wish the hands to be.

Start reading about Frida Kahlo for a start, to learn about her art and her particular imagery.
She was a great artist, I love her work, and I think that this is a challenging project.
