Frida Kahlo is one of the most worldwide known Mexican artists of all time. Frida has not only inspired people because of her strength and positive attitude towards life after having so many dramatic events during her career but also through her love for her culture, which was expressed within her paintings, letters, etc.
Frida used all the bad experiences she had in life and
channeled them into her work to create amazing paintings that communicated her
thoughts and feelings about different events and situations she had gone
through.
Since her times (1930’s) different photographers, painters,
sculptures and designers have used Frida Kahlo as an inspiration for their art.
To this day Frida is a common source of inspiration and research for Mexican
inspired art.
For a few years people have being focused on Day of the Day
along side with Frida Kahlo. We see garments that have Mexican textiles and
fabrics that evoke certain festivities with make up, hair and accessories that
remind us of Kahlo. On the other hand we can see garments inspired by the
clothes that Kahlo used to wear with an inclination to day of the Dead, face
make up related to this holiday but still utilizing the jewelry, flowers and
braids Kahlo used to wear.
There’s some reason people find really appealing the mix
between Frida Kahlo and Day of the Dead and it doesn’t seem that this trend is
going to end anytime soon either way, what’s better than this amazing blend
that represents the Mexican culture in the best possible way?
“I hope the end is joyful, and I hope never to return.”
-Frida Kahlo
