Chaya De Silva - Frida Kahlo

This vibrant, textural portrait of Frida Kahlo is a visual tribute to one of the most fearless, raw, and revolutionary women in art history. Created with a rich mix of acrylic and layered texture, this piece captures not just Frida’s likeness, but the essence of her bold spirit and layered life story.

Her face emerges from a canvas of electric turquoise, passionate reds, golden accents, and vivid contrast, symbolizing the vibrancy of her Mexican roots and the emotional depth that defined her art. The thick, tactile strokes mirror her life’s texture—raw, imperfect, and deeply powerful.

Every detail, from her iconic flower crown to the piercing gaze, tells a story of resilience, beauty, pain, and passion. The backdrop—splashed with wild colour and energetic movement—represents the chaos she embraced and the world she redefined.

More than a portrait, this artwork is an emblem of identity, power, and artistic freedom. It’s a statement piece that brings both colour and soul into any space.
