Frida's Paintings

I dont think this lady needs any introduction. Yes..She is the famous mexican artist Frida Kahlo. I am not here to discuss about the pain of her life or about her controvertial character. Just wanted to share my thoughts about some of her painting. The presence of surrealism in her paintings attracts me the most. And the folkloric style too..I think the way she has portrayed the pain, the sorrow, the part of her life in the painting "The Two Fridas(1939)" doesn't need any more clarification. The simplicity of the communication fascinated me the most. Someone can frame her own reality in this way..truely mesmerized me. Though this work of art is my favourite...but the list contains some more too.. Memory (1937), Roots(1943), Self Portrait with Necklace of Thorns (1940) etc. I think "Memory" is another amazing piece of work.

"I paint myself because... I am the person I know best."
"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?"
