Frida: Another Reflection of God's Beauty in Woman
By American Artist Catherine Cortes (2016)

"Frida: Another Reflection of God's Beauty in Woman" is an acrylic and digital artwork that honors the unique blend of strength and grace embodied by the famous Mexican revolutionary artist, Frida Kahlo. 

This unique artwork, blending acrylic on canvas with digital media, portrays the iconic Frida Kahlo as a symbol of feminine strength and resilience. Using soft pastel hues, I wanted to create a striking contrast between Frida’s enduring spirit and the delicate colors traditionally associated with femininity. The result is an ironic juxtaposition that highlights both the grace and unyielding determination of a woman who has inspired many, myself included.

Although Frida’s political views and mine may not align, I have always admired her fearlessness, her boundless energy, and her ability to motivate others. Her life story, full of triumph and tragedy, deeply moved me, and I felt compelled to paint this softer rendition of Frida Kahlo, capturing the sadness and strength that define her legacy.

This piece was painted in 2016, during a time when I was longing for my Mexican heritage after moving from Tucson, Arizona, to Lawrenceville, Georgia. The vibrant blues and pinks of Mexico, colors that have shaped my own artistic journey, are subtly woven into this work, reflecting both my personal connection to Frida and my cultural roots.

Though the original artwork was given away as a gift, you can now own a reproduction of this piece. Available as high-quality posters and canvas prints, these reproductions come directly from the printer to your home, unsigned yet filled with the same spirit and artistry that inspired the original.
