Colors full of life, pain, and passion
"I paint flowers so they don't wither." – Frida Kahlo
Few modern female artists have inspired the world as much as Frida Kahlo . Her works are characterized by intense colors, symbolic power, and a deep connection to her own life – between joy and pain, strength and vulnerability.
But Frida Kahlo was not just a painter; she was an icon of self-determination, femininity, and resistance . To this day, she stands for courage, authenticity, and the power to shape one's own life in a colorful and unique way.
Frida Kahlo's world of color – an expression of her soul
Frida loved bold, vibrant colors – and used them to express her emotions, her Mexican heritage, and her life story. For her, colors were more than decoration; they were language, symbol, and identity .
-
Red stood for passion, love, but also pain.
-
Green symbolized hope and renewal.
-
Blue reflected the tranquility of the sky and at the same time the feeling of infinity.
-
Yellow brought joy, energy, and intensity to her works.
-
Schwarz used them to make grief and loss visible.
These strong color contrasts make Frida's works unmistakable to this day – and remind us that colors structure our lives as much as our feelings.
Art as a mirror of life
Frida's life was marked by ruptures: a serious illness in childhood, the bus accident with lifelong consequences, and her passionate and dramatic relationship with Diego Rivera.
But instead of withdrawing, she transformed her pain into art. Her self-portraits – often intense, unflinching, and full of symbolism – are not just pictures, but messages of strength .
"At the end of the day, we can endure more than we think." – Frida Kahlo
This sentence in particular makes clear why Frida Kahlo continues to inspire millions of people to this day: She shows that vulnerability and strength belong together – and that both can be expressed in art, color and creativity.
