Frida is seen as a female role model, a strong, independent woman who overcomes many boundaries, in terms of health, culture, time. From Mexico, she has won over the entire world.
Her unique personality encourages women to accept themselves for who they are, and to show themselves in their individuality to the world. She can therefore be seen as a face behind feminism.
Frida went through a lot in her life, from intense heartbreak to intense physical pain from an accident. She was a broken woman, but stood up for herself, and became an inspiration to many.
Perhaps that is why the portrait of Frida is so inspiring. This abstract, subtle portrait will add a playful, iconic twist to your interior. Artful, powerful and vulnerable, full of underlying symbolism.
This portrait is constructed in a high-contrast sepia terracotta. This makes it both sturdy and subtly neutral, so that it will also stand out in a modern, peaceful interior.
Kahlo was a Mexican artist. Her works are often labeled as surrealistic, but she herself disagrees. In all her works she paints her own reality. A reality that was certainly not always rosy. This portrait is an ode to this fantastic artist and woman.
