Leonora Fini
"Witches," 1959

Fini painted this work for her muse and friend, Mexican film star Maria Felix. Departing from her typical surrealism, she embraces a baroque expressiveness here. Within a whirlwind of ochre and crimson hues, female figures intertwine. For Fini, the witch is not a malevolent sorceress, but a symbol of absolute female autonomy—hidden power, mystery, and independence from the male world.
