Remembering Frida Kahlo through our work

frida kahlo

As creative people, we are often inspired by legends and great artists that walked the art and left a deep mark on our lives, our creative approach, and on our thinking.

Frida Kahlo is one such icon whom we have always look up to.

It’s not just her extraordinary art but also her persona, her influence on the society, especially women that leaves us in great admiration and awe of this incredible female personality.

One of the most significant artists of the 20th century, Kahlo remains a socio-political and feminist figure to reckon with. Her art explored social identity, gender, class, and race, and was an uncompromising depiction of the female form and their experiences.

Most of her work represent personal growth, home, strength, and uniqueness of emotions, which drives subtle positivity through her artistic allegory.

We see Kahlo as an influential artist and activist who turned her physical and emotional pain and discomfort into a purpose- the purpose of empowering her people and other women in the society through her art. She remains a feminist force even today, who brought poignant questions about the feminine identity.

If we have to define this incredible woman, in our words, we would only say, she was (and still is) a “Queen of Hearts” touching lives through her art, her thinking, and her stance on the society.

Bold and beautiful, the artist’s work, quite like the woman herself symbolized magnetism, affection, idealism, and everything she stood for in her life.

Frida Kahlo has and will always be an icon of empowerment, strength, and love, and a benchmark for many women to discover themselves and be proud of who they are. Through some of our creations, we reminisce her passion personality, and pay our homage to this legendary artist, with an honest endeavor to inspire women of today.
