Artist Spotlight: Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo is one of the most admired female artists currently favored by many who wish to pursue their own artful talent. She was able to depict her emotions via her paintings, including self-portraits. Her pain and her passion come to life with vibrant and bold colors, so typical of her Mexican heritage.
If you haven’t heard of Frida Kahlo, surely, you may have seen her art:

Self-Portrait

The Frame
Aside from her images that represent her tragedies and milestones, one of the things that I have always loved about Frida’s art is her use of color and adornments, or decorations. Mexican Art is colorful to begin with. Flowers and vivid colors are Frida’s hallmarks.
Color, pain and those eyebrows!
