Art: La Sirena by Artist Jasmine Ann Becket-Griffith
"La Sirena" and she is beautiful! The frame was handcrafted and hand-cast by myself & Matty - in fact the frame itself contains one of my 3-d wide eyed beauties, as well as hand painted "Dia de los Muertos" skeletons & skulls! It is way too cool! A gorgeous dark haired mermaid with a Day of the Dead theme. La Sirena is Spanish for "the mermaid" or "the siren", and is a common motif in Mexican folk art and of course the Lotteria! She is on a gothic-style peaked wood panel (masonite) with a stunning carved wood and cast resin frame. The frame is the third "Strangeling Frame" we've made - at the top of the frame is a magnificent ornate casting featuring a bust of one of my Strangeling girls clutching some sinister skulls, and there are multiple cast resin skull accents (which I've painted with colourful Dia de los Muertos designs) at the bottom corners of the frame. Other details enhance the framing, which is all a hand-painted (by me!) silver and aged/antiqued patina, to give it an old, sea-corroded feel. The painting is quite large - I've even posted a photo of myself standing with it in the auction (see the link below) to show size. It is about 33" high and 17" wide, and the ornamentation on the frame is probably about an inch or two thick. It is READY TO HANG! I am so happy I am able to start creating works like these, and by collaborating with my husband and his workshop, I truly have made my dream a reality, especially now that we are branching into TRULY original frames! It really has to be seen in person to appreciate it!
