With looking over Frida Kahlo's self portraits i have become enchanted with her metaphorical way of recreating her anguish and pain into her paintings, and how she pushed the barriers of people's adaptation of her life.This painting The Broken Column, done in 1944, has always been one of my favorites as it depicts her pain harnessed and poured onto canvas how she felt after her car accident that left her with irreparable spinal injuries. The Column itself, which is broken, shows one of the sources of her pain, the nails in her body tries to explain to the viewers the unbearable pain she was enduring, along with the tears in Frida's eyes.
I wanna be able to show my own life through my artwork with such clarity and honesty
