Frida
One day Boris and I were discussing the life of artist Frida Kahlo. She had been through so much adversity and heart break in her life. Despite all the hardships, she managed to express her artist gift. While bed ridden, after an almost fatal bus accident, she painted and created beautiful artwork. She was not afraid to be transparent and painted her inner experiences. Boris was inspired by her resiliency but he could also relate to her pain. In spite of the emotional and physical pain she was feeling, Frida often adorned her hair with colorful flowers and wore ornate jewelry. Boris painted his view of Frida, with her beautiful adornments on her head and the sorrow in her eyes.
