In Silvia Pinal's will is the painting by Diego Rivera that adorned the forum where the program "Mujer, casos de la vida real" was recorded and later a room in her house in Mexico City. This artwork, featuring a portrait of Silvia Pinal, was created by the Mexican muralist in 1956 at the request of the star of "Viridiana."
Recently, Diego Rivera's painting was criticized by Enrique Guzmán, who mentioned that the piece is in the home of one of the children of the diva of the Mexican golden cinema. Sylvia Pasquel refused to provide details about Silvia Pinal's will, but Luis Enrique Guzmán shared more information about the artwork of his mother.
In an exclusive interview for "Ventaneando," Enrique Guzmán's son revealed that his mother left it to Alejandra in 2004, who, out of respect, did not take it from her mother's home in Mexico City. According to Luis Enrique Guzmán, the painting was moved to the home of singer Alejandra Guzmán after Silvia Pinal's death.
"Since my mom passed away, Alejandra came for her painting and took it for restoration. There is now a copy hanging in place of the original, and the difference between the copy and the original is very noticeable," Luis Enrique Guzmán reported.
Regarding Silvia Pinal's will, Enrique and Silvia Pinal's son revealed that they must wait for confirmation that the document with the inheritance is the only existing one to proceed with the actual reading.
The story of the painting of Silvia Pinal painted by Diego Rivera began when architect Manuel Rosen Morrison built the actress's house in Mexico City. Before completing the project, Rosen decided to adorn the place with a painting by Diego Rivera, to which Silvia Pinal initially responded with skepticism, but eventually accepted.
The Mexican muralist completed the work and gave it to Silvia Pinal without charging her, as she recounts in her autobiography: "I entered his studio, the painting was finished, I was stunned when I saw it. Then I asked him how much I owed him, and he replied, 'From what? Well, you see, today is your saint's day, what do you think if I give it to you?'"
