Take a look Inside Frida’s diaries!
To celebrate the Mexican poetry of color, we bring you fragments of Frida Kahlo's most intimate work: her diaries.
Inspired by colored pencils at her desk, she wrote in her notebook about emotions and symbolism. In her diaries, Frida explained the meaning of colors she used in her works:
“I’ll try out the pencils
sharpened to the point of infinity
which always sees ahead”
Frida’s palette is an example of how the Mexican poetry of color comes from a deep meditation on culture and nature.
This is our love letter to Frida Kahlo, con amor y color de Aora México.
