Frida Kahlo . I was mesmerized by her paintings from the first moment I've seen them as a child. "I paint flowers so they will not die." ...... "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best." "I don’t really know if my paintings are surreal or not, but I do know that they represent the frankest expression of myself." "Painting has made my life full. Painting has replaced everything. I don’t think there’s anything better than work." “Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.” “Everything can have beauty, even the worst horror.” " I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope
