"...
The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to,and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."
~Imagine that? Living a life authentically as you feel like it? The boldness with which Frida Khalo lived her life continues to inspire. She didn't just paint, she painted to live. And as a result Frida Khalo lived a full life. While her life seemed like one enormous performance art exhibit, and she wasn't performing,she was living. This renaissance woman was interested in everything and not just 'art.' And, she had things to say approximately it all--politics, or fashion,culture, women's issues, or lesson issues,cuisine, marriage, or sexuality,men, and much more. Khalo inspired women across Latin America and beyond to live authentic full lives.
Can you tell I am a fan? As I see it, and Khalo showed us that coloring external the lines was not only good thing but a great endeavor. Cheers to a woman not afraid to be authentic,even if that authenticity meant to live radically different than was expected of her and women of her culture and era.
I love this quote. Here's a small inspiration, motivation, and life vision from the master painter herself. For Khalo there was no such thing as living in a box because there was no box--life had no limits.

I {would} rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than contain anything to enact with those 'artistic' bitches of Paris."
