"Surrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe where you were sure of finding shirts" - Frida Kahlo
My favorite artist is Frida Kahlo. Not only are her paintings full of energy and emotion, but her style evoked that same vivacious energy. She mixed bold colors, earthy Pre-Columbian stone jewelry, flowers in her hair, traditional Tehuana style, and a whimsicality to create a palette that was uniquely her. Her style became an extension of her paintings. She wore green on her wedding day. She wore a man's suit for a family portrait. She wove ribbons and real flowers into her hair constantly. She truly is the perfect example of weaving art into everyday life.
