Piece description from the artist
La vida entera – life itself
A line from one of Frida Kahlo's love letters to Diego Rivera was the inspiration for the painting. A portrait with a modern touch. Layers upon layers with details from news paper clips, a parish register, Mexican calaveras, skulls, and hearts. The more you look the more details appear.
Pia Lilenthal is a contemporary street mix-media artist. She combines stencil work with multiple layers and techniques in the backgrounds. It could be watercolor, acrylic paint, screen printing, collages of stamps. Or a mix of them all. Portraits are a common motif, often women, containing multiple details in the different layers.
Her background as a graphic designer and long experience of making sketches digitally comes handy when planning compositions and different color combinations. The final artwork though, is always made by hand.
