No soy frágil como una flor, yo soy frágil como una bomba

Description

This work is inspired by the powerful words of Frida Kahlo: "No soy frágil como una flor, yo soy frágil como una bomba" ("I am not fragile like a flower, I am fragile like a bomb"). This emblematic aphorism becomes the focal point of a portrait that captures Frida's very essence, a woman who transforms her pain into strength and her vulnerability into power.

In the painting, Frida's gaze is intense; her eyes shine with a light that reflects her unwavering determination. Her expression is determined, but there is also a trace of vulnerability, as if she acknowledges her inner fragility. Frida wears traditional Mexican clothing, but with a touch of modernity that represents her eternal beauty and her ability to flourish despite adversities. The details of her attire are carefully rendered, showcasing her passion for art and life itself.

This painting aims to be not just a portrait of Frida Kahlo but a celebration of her life philosophy, representing her fragility as a bomb, ready to explode with an unstoppable creative force, inviting us to reflect on our own inner strength and the ability to transform challenges into opportunities, just as Frida did throughout her extraordinary life.
