| "Tree of Hope, Remain Strong" Frida Kahlo, 1946 |
The reason why I choose Frida Kahlo is because her artwork represents her emotional or physical pain, empowerment, identity, and indigenous culture. Frida Kahlo paintings carry a message of her suffering throughout her life. She has been through depression such as losing her father, an accident that caused her to have multiple surgeries and illnesses in her lifetime. Also, her miscarriages and eventually divorce with her husband Diego Rivera due to him having many affairs. One of my favorite paintings from Frida Kahlo was the “Tree of Hope, Remain Strong”. In the painting it shows how she felt extreme lasting pain in her spine and no longer felt the strength to live on the left side. While, in the right side it showed she had hope, faith, strength, and courage that everything will go out well.
Frida inspired me to stay strong despite the terrible circumstance that may come in my life. She showed me that expressing your feelings is a good way to feel better. Able to have a mind of a warrior you can overcome obstacles. She made me embrace my Mexican culture and not be ashamed of it. She had the bravery and courage to show her feelings and personal life in her paintings. Which she made me feel I wasn’t alone. It motivated me to have faith and courage within myself. The reason why I have a passion to become a teacher because I want to motivate my students in school to succeed their goals or dreams.
