Artist + Self

 

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, born in 1907 and descendant from German and Spanish parents, known for her self portraits and realistic work inspired by the nature and objects of Mexico. She was one of the most revolutionary painters within the last centuries. Her life as a painter started with a traumatic accident that caused her multiple injuries, she saw art as an escape from all the pain and agony. Frida Kahlo's paints express true emotions and are based on her reality, what she experienced and what inspired her to became an artist. I chose this artist because she is a great example for all women around the world and because she overcame all her obstacles and transforms them into something beautiful, that has inspired many people worldwide and has helped them to connect with their inner self.

 I chose this picture of me because it shows true emotions, such as freedom and happiness; this picture describes exactly how I was feeling at that moment, happy.  Kahlo's portraits make people connect with themselves in all ways, Just like nature makes me connect with myself emotionally. Frida was surrealistic because she only painted her reality, and I relate very much to that because I am very realistic and I always try to show my real self to others and most importantly to myself.
