Frida is not an icon. She is a mood, a lifestyle. I have wanted to paint her ever since I started painting. This is still a work in progress, I just couldn’t get enough flowers around her in the time I had today, and I was too excited about it to not put it up. So, here’s presenting, My Frida! Painting this was pure joy!
I used a lot of Madhubani motifs to make her, the face the birds and the flowers are mostly in Madhubani style. And then some contemporary contouring and contrasting for the foliage and skin.
