La monarca

Discover the exceptional artwork of Esteban Machado Díaz with this limited-edition fine art print "La monarca". A tribute to legendary painter Frida Kahlo, this image captures the vibrancy and emotion of traditional Latin American art. Make a unique statement in your home with this stunning piece.

This work is inspired by the simple verse of José Martí:

I saw wings coming from the shoulders
Of beautiful women:
And out of the rubble,
Flying butterflies.

Frida is represented in full body, with Monarch butterfly wings, surrounded by Caribbean vegetation and flights of butterflies. In this work Machado also recreates his phrase after so much pain and heartbreak when she loses one of her feet, and says with total fearlessness and force:

"Feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly?”

The figure of Frida merges with the mystical monarch butterfly that
announce the arrival of the celebration of the Day of the Dead in their migration to the temperate zones of Mexico.
