"Viva la Vida" - "Live Life" Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. She was married with the famous Mexican painter Diego Rivera.
Nowadays she is one of the most important artists of the 20th century and probably of the whole of fine art in general.
Her life was full of adventure, violence, suffering and tragedies. She had a great inner strength and will to live. Frida died when she was 47 years old in 1954 under mysterious circumstances.
The influence of Kahlo can be found in the current fashion in colorful flowers, waves, distinctive rings and embroidery. Her spirit is noticeable throughout Mexico, you can find her portrait on every step.
Don´t miss a chance to learn more about the tumultuous life and controversial art and come to Mexico:)
“At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.”
― Frida Kahlo
Stay awesome and Steem on!

She’s such a unique artist right? I just noticed you are wearing that colorful Mexican blouse in your profile pic. :D Is that we once talked about her in your another post last year? :) After seeing her images through South America, I watched movies and documentaries about her, and was deeply touched by her struggles and vitality. No wonder she became an icon.
Yeah, definitely she is one of the Mexico's greatest artist..She is the queen of the original “selfie”;)
Thanks for stopping by, Donica:) T.
So interesting that you posted about Frida today. I work at Arizona State University and the students are having an event tonight called Women's HERstory month- Frida Kahlo- and this is the description: Celebrate Women's HERstory Month in experiencing Frida Kahlo's artwork by painting your own self-portraits! Learn about Kahlo's life as a fierce woman who embraced her sexuality, defied gender stereotypes, and gave awareness to the struggles of women.
I like the murals too. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, That's fantastic to hear! More than 60 years after death, she is still remembered as a remarkable inspirational woman!! Hope one day I will visit Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City;)
Thank you for appreciating my photos, Sara! keep on Steeming! 🙂
YES!!!
It's so true, isn't it? The vibe is lively, the music is in the air, or else- how would they breathe???
Oh, to see people sing out, baring their soul, carrying a tune has nothing to do with it! There is much to be said for a culture such as this. I lived it! I loved it! I wish I had never said goodbye!!!!
Oh, but, I will get back to the good life sooner than later!
Hi, Tammy! I hope you are having a brilliant day!
