An Artist's Reaction to the Paintings of Frida Kahlo [and a Manifesto on 21st Century Medicine] (2007):

This series is the result of some research I conducted on Frida Kahlo while enrolled in a course called The Impact of the Mexican Revolution on Latin American Art. I felt that of all the Mexican Modernists, she is the artist with whom my current work has the greatest affiliation. My most recent series have evolved to reflect Surrealistic tendencies and a fixation on the human body. Considering the Surrealistic qualities of Kahlo’s own paintings, and the attention she devoted in her painting to her own body and medical conditions, I felt that my work would grow quite naturally in a positive direction if I emulated some of her themes and imagery.

These works, while inspired by Frida Kahlo's paintings, mostly reflect my own ideas and views about the human body and medicine in the 21st century. I have written a "manifesto" on this series which can be viewed by clicking here.
