This is an image which I painted as part of an assignment on appropriation. The image comes from a mural by Mexican artist David Alfaro Siqueiros. I chose this image for its strong line and colours and textural value. The womans arms depict such raw strength, the kind of physical strength usually left for the depiction of men. That is not easy to come by in the art world, and has made this image special and significant to me.
