“Portrait of Frida Kahlo – Viva La Vida” by Kerry Inkster

This gorgeous little painting has a vivid, almost electric energy. The subject is strong and poised – as is my subject, one of my idols, Frida Kahlo. With flowers in her hair and a parrot on her shoulder, she commands attention with her steady gaze. The colours are bold and unapologetic, just like the woman herself: turquoise blues, fiery reds, and bursts of yellow give it a lively cinematic quality. The bustling street scene from Mexico city in the background feels like its bustling, an impressionistic dream, which makes Frida pop even more.

There’s a balance of strength and grace here – the sharp lines in her face and clothing contrast with the loose, almost fluid textures in the background and the bird’s feathers. It feels like a celebration of individuality, culture, and resilience, without tipping into sentimentality – again, just like Frida herself.

Painted onto stretched canvas and framed in Tasmanian Oak, I created this piece to light up your space and provide you with daily inspiration.
