“Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?” – Frida Kahlo.

Frida Kahlo paintings are beautiful and Frida is one of my favorite painters. She is a Mexican surrealist painter whose paintings reflect the pain and struggles of her life. As a strong woman Frida was known to freely expresses herself both in her art and in her sexuality. As her health deteriorated you can see her demons of low self-esteem start to colorfully be displayed in every brush stroke that made up her self portraits. While Frida Kahlo’s surrealist style was not quiet as imaginative as Salvador Dali and her technique not as sharp Pablo Picasso, her dedication and love  of painting is second to none. Her pain and passion can be seen as a common theme in most of Frida Kahlo’s paintings and if you are a reader of SpreadLove.org then you, us and Frida share the same vibrations. We believe in tapping into the hardships and pains of our life and use them as fuel to help us accomplish our goals. Whatever struggles you are going through are nothing compared to Frida’s and as I said above you can see that she channeled this pain through her art like many artists do. So on those days you are feeling shitty and need some inspiration, think of Frida Kahlo,better than that think of all the Frida Kahlo paintings out there and then think of your favorite Frida Kahlo painting and the consider about how difficult it was for her to create them especially during the time she was bed ridden.
