Frida

Frida Kahlo


 

I saw a portion of the movie Frida this week-end and I wanted to know more about her. I just started investigating and all of a sudden I am fired up - inspired. Her life story is very interesting. I love her paintings, so colorful and dreamlike. There are deep psychological messages in them, something of the subconscious. I want to know more, see more. It is weird because her style of painting (surrealism, almost pop art) isn't usually my cup of tea but I am drawn to them.

 

From wikipedia:

"Kahlo once said, 'I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.' " I love it! I am totally feeling that. That is my blog - I write about myself because that is what I know best. I wish I could paint.
