Curator's Note: In Her Eyes, They Remain

This original painting offers a poignant and reflective modern interpretation of La Calavera Catrina. Titled In Her Eyes, They Remain, the artwork features a striking profile of La Catrina adorned with three vibrant red roses. Her gaze is fixed intently on the distance as if holding onto a memory.

I painted this piece using rich Winsor & Newton gouache on cotton paper. I utilized a landscape format to create a balanced composition that emphasizes the emotional weight of her expression and the enduring nature of love and loss.

What makes this piece truly unique for collectors is the archival finish. I have mounted the cotton paper onto an acid-free board and sealed the surface with Dorland’s Wax. This technique completely eliminates the need for glass. It allows you to enjoy a glare-free and intimate view of the painted texture without reflections. It arrives in a textured black frame and is ready to hang the moment it reaches your door.

One of the most unique aspects of this artwork is the archival construction. I mount the cotton paper onto an acid-free mat board using pH Neutral adhesive to ensure the artwork is stabilized and reinforced. Additionally, I have sealed the surface with Dorland’s Wax, a technique that protects the painting and completely eliminates the need for glass. This allows you to enjoy a glare-free, tactile view of the art without any reflections getting in the way. It arrives framed in a textured black frame that complements the composition, making it ready to hang the moment it arrives at your door.
