Painting of Frida Khalo

I chose this painting of Frida Khalo, because I consider that she was an admirable woman, and in spite of her pain and of all her personal problems, she tried of to be a optimistic woman.Because her life wasn´t easy, but in my personal case, she shows me that I must enjoy my life with my parents, friends, classmates, etc., and I can´t leave that my dreams and goals fade.

So in this painting I can see a collection of all the facets that Frida Khalo had. In the background of this painting is the sea, the late afternoon and some hills. Too there are a large table with a lot food and flowers. Then the figure of half is Frida with nails in all her body and with her vertebral column broken. It is because she suffered a motoring accident. Immediately there is another Frida Khalo with a blue dress and in her forehead there is Diego River´s face. I can deduce that is the moment when she married with Diego Rivera. The next Frida Khalo is bare and with a foetus in her womb, where it has as meaning when she wanted to be mother and she couldn´t. The another Frida Khalo, first we can see to big Frida in brown color with an aperture in her chest and with a withered trunk in her heart. After there is another Frida is wearing a red dress and in her arms is carring a man and finally we can see other person is hunging to everybody and in her hands there are roots. In the back part we can see a sun, a face, some trunks and prickly pears. For me Frida wanted to show as she lived in this moment with Diego Rivera. She felt alone and without life. And in front Frida Khalo is a deer with arrows in her body.

The side felt of the painting, little Frida Khalo is suckling her chest in other Frida. I believe that Frida more time she wanted to exhibit her wishes of to be mother. The next to Frida Khalo is wearing a red with yellow dress, where I suppose that in this moment she felt a diffrerent woman, because she seems content. And Finally the next Frida Khalo is wearing a black suit, a white shirt, a red tie and a white and black cap and with a skull behind of Frida. I believe that this painting was last time. maybe because she presaged her death.

I like a lot this painting. I consider that Frida Khalo was and will be an admirable woman in our country. I heve never visited the blue house, but I would like to go and to learn more about of her life.
