Frida Kahlo - I don't paint my dreams I paint my reality

The Mexican female painter, "Angel with Broken Wings," only had her first solo exhibition in the last year of her life. She was disabled by then, and was carried into the gallery while lying on a large, colorful bed. She smiled charmingly: "Please note that this corpse is still alive." She was surrounded by countless admirers - of course, this is the scene in the opening film "Frida" in Venice in 2002, which is far from summarizing the real Frederick. The scenery and pain of Rida's life.

Sickness, disability, miscarriage, and more than 30 surgical operations in her life, she is an injured woman concealed by a strong expression. Pain is an ingrained part of her life. So, she began to use painting to pass the time. The subject she painted the most was herself, because that was the only reality she could come into contact with during her long illness.

However, this maverick woman is destined to stand out. I greatly admire her actions. She likes drinking tequila, throwing rave parties, swearing nonstop, kissing and dancing with women.

In fact, in the face of the unrelenting pain that devoured her life, Frida was extremely pessimistic and helpless in her heart, and even used to talk to herself.

What impressed me most was the last sentence mentioned in "Frida". The last words in her diary were: "I hope my death is a happy one, and I don't want to come again."
