The relationship between Antoine Tzapoff and the famous actress Maria Felix started in Paris many years ago when Mdme. Felix was invited to participate in a fashion event organized and coordinated by Christian Dior.

The event was inspired in the popular Mexican attires. After the successful event, a very close friend of Mdme. Felix, requested to have one of the many photographs taken that evening, the picture was intended to serve as a model for the first painting of Mdme. Felix by Antoine Tzapoff.

The first portrait of Mdme. Felix by Antoine, inspired Mdme. Felix to request for another painting similar to the first. Antoine Tzapoff accepted the request, the result is two magnificent portraits that are displayed on a rotating frame made of silver by Tane.
