Juan Fuentes’ Frida’s Rings pays tribute to Frida Kahlo through a quietly powerful portrait focused on her expressive hands and iconic jewelry. Carved with Fuentes’ signature rhythmic linework, the print emphasizes gesture, adornment, and emotional presence rather than literal likeness. The tightly clasped hands—adorned with Kahlo’s distinctive rings—anchor the composition, evoking both creative intensity and personal resilience. The interplay of pattern, shadow, and negative space creates a striking image that honors Frida not only as an artist, but as a symbol of endurance and self-expression.
