A striking reinterpretation of Jacques-Louis David's iconic revolutionary painting, Castañeda's *La muerte de Marat* infuses the classical composition with her signature surrealist and conceptual sensibility. The work reimagines the martyred figure through a lens that questions myth, power, and the theatricality of death, blending historical reference with a distinctly Cuban-American perspective. Rich, layered oil paint amplifies the tension between the painting's political undertones and its deeply personal visual language.
