One of the most instantly recognizable faces in history must surely be the woman who documented the beauty, tragedy, and pain she experienced in her all too short life. Frida Kahlo is a constant source of inspiration to me an artist that, despite constant pain, found a way to push through and achieve an immortality seldom matched. 

She did this through something that would be easily recognizable in the current age of Instagram and Tic Toe: the selfie but unlike that lot, there was nothing vapid about her painfully reflective self-portraits. It was a brutally honest accounting of what she experienced.  But through most of her work, there was always that face. It links and weaves every painting together into a quilt that tells her story. 
Im hypnotized by so much of her work. 

Ive drawn two portraits of Frida Kahlo One simply from my memory of what I thought she looked likeand the other this piece based on a photo her father took of her. Both of them were created while listening to a song from the band The Minders, called, appropriately, Frida. Its a song that, just like her paintings, is mesmerizing. So I put it on a loop used it as the soundtrack to create this piece. 

"Frida she doesn't care
All of her eyebrows bend on sorrow
Untie her straight from that chair
Give her a halo give it to Frida"

I hope this art captures her fierce independence and bravery for thats what I feel when I see her photos and her artwork.
