My portrait of Frida Kahlo, with her eyes intense yet calm, gazing directly at the viewer. The portrait captures her iconic features—her strong brows, dark hair adorned with a crown of flowers. Surrounding her is a lush array of flowers that seem to bloom out of the canvas as they are subtly raised from the surface, creating a textured, almost sculptural effect that invites touch and heightens the sense of depth.
The background is a soothing, radiant turquoise, creating a striking contrast with the bold hues of the flora. As you explore the piece, you notice that the flowers carry a sense of fragility—echoing the profound symbolism of Frida's own resilience in the face of pain. The script is Frida's quote: "I paint flowers so they will not die." adding a layer of emotional depth creating a powerful homage to her artistic spirit and the healing power of her work.
