as with many talented people who die young, there’s such a mysterious air around frida kahlo, and so much fascination with her life as an artist — i thought it might be fun to imagine what her home life might look like. i know she lived in the blue house which is now a museum, but i had fun re-imagining it to be colorful, eclectic and quite bohemian — much like the Tehuana style clothing she wore and the vibrant, exotic self-portraits she painted. after the car accident that left her in severe pain, i read that the more she was suffering or worse she was feeling, the more adornment she would wear — i hope in doing so, it somehow lifted her spirits. i’m going to imagine her home to be colorfully adorned as well. have a look at my imagined world of frida kahlo.
