By: Frida Kahlo

Viva la Vida was created right before Frida passed. It translates in to “Long live life” which actually isn’t a sad painting instead a joyful one she accepted her death and was content with it because finally all her hardships would be over. In Fridakahlo.org it states that in her diary she says “I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return”. Meaning she wanted a peaceful death one where she never has to relive her old life.
