Frida Kahlo Inspired Shadowbox by Maïssa Toulet

These handmade art boxes feature intricate miniature floral arrangements centered around a delicately sculpted skull motif, evoking the colorful spirit of Frida Kahlo and Mexican folk art traditions. Each piece combines preserved botanicals and painted blooms inside a black shadow box frame, creating a vibrant, dimensional composition that celebrates life, art, and remembrance.

Designed to be displayed on a wall or shelf, these one-of-a-kind creations add a poetic and bohemian touch to any space — equal parts curiosity, craftsmanship, and homage to Frida’s enduring influence.

Dimensions: 9cm x 9cm

About the Artist

Maïssa Toulet (b. 1974) is a Parisian artist who has been building her own surreal scenes since the age of 12, using the objects, toys and ephemera she had around her. Nessy likes to call her a "Dr. Frankenstein of forgotten objects" Today, her assemblage art comes in all shapes and sizes as she's continued to experiment with different mediums over the years. From miniature curiosity cabinets to antique glass containers or even vintage eyewear, Maïssa's unique work comes in all shapes and sizes, but every last piece has a story. She makes moulds of everything she collects and then reinvents them entirely from her atelier in the 11th arrondissement.
