About this artwork
The images of a young Mexican woman were taken in 1990 and combined in 2026. The basis consists of fine art prints of black and white photographs, hand-colored with egg-white glazes and gold. The gold lends the work a contemporary, iconic quality. The work is part of a duo entitled "Beenas Bollywood Dreams." Both works are framed in a wide, identical gold frame. The format is 35.5 x 35.5 cm. The text within the image tells the story of a young Mexican…
woman from a wealthy family who falls in love with an impoverished mestizo man. Her father forbids the love, but to no avail. Neither can stay away from the other. Finally, the father stabs his daughter to death. He would rather have her dead than become the wife of someone he considers subhuman. This socio-political aspect only becomes apparent upon reading the text and is optically overlaid by the beautiful portrait. A discount may be granted when purchasing both designs.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Thomas Ruhl works as a painter and photographer with a background in graphic design, photography, and journalism. He masterfully combines black-and-white photography with hand-colored elements, often complemented by literary texts, thereby bringing historical coloring techniques back into contemporary art. His style moves at the intersection of photography, painting, and literature, always aesthetic and critical at the same time. His works tell moving stories of people worldwide and invite the viewer to empathy, humanity, and sensitive reflection. Ruhl has received numerous international awards for his work. His pieces have been presented in group and solo exhibitions and at art fairs. After studying art, financial difficulties initially drove him into advertising. This was followed by the founding of the publishing house Port-Culinaire, which established itself at the top end of the market with a magazine and culinary books. Now he devotes himself exclusively to art.
