Big original wall art Mexican couple mexican revolution collage antique canvas

"Kiss the Queen" original artwork on canvas paper collage size 48"x36" from my series "Los Dioses Ocultos" artist Benito Del Aguila. Background paper has late XIX newspapers also paper from 1930s and comic strips about the mexican revolution from the 1980s. Canvas stretched on its stretching bars, ready to hang. As you can see in last photos this artwork was selected for the poster of my exhibit, other photos show opening day of the exhibit, with people arround so you could have a better idea of its size. Used many layers of antique 1890s news papers with images of late XIX Century.

It is what I call a Collage constructed and deconstructed by tearing off some of the coats of previous layers of paper, thats why you see several colors. Composition of Tehuana remids of a religous icon like virgin Mary or Virgen de Guadalupe.
