There is undoubtedly something magnetic in Frida Kahlo's entire existence, so strong that it attracts attention even more than sixty years after her death. There is an echo of intentions and her personal artistic urgencies that have ignored time making her, in all respects, an eternal icon, a symbol of vitality and resistance for all women Frida continually portrays herself, paints her suffering body and it enriches it, reinterprets it, imagines it always new yet tremendously equal to itself, in disease and in details. She thus becomes an icon of art, but also of contemporary pop culture and not only for her eyebrows that are forever recognizable, but also for her deep knowledge of herself and of all women at the same time. The female body and the taboos connected to it become central themes of her artistic production, an alarm clock for women of then and today. Frida is the symbol of self-appropriation, of the scars and pains of every woman's luggage, and of the elevation of these elements to art. Her repeated presence in pop iconography is repetitive almost bordering on obsession, but love for her has always been sincere: tattoos, prints and tributes portray her eternally with the crown of flowers surrounding her head, her eyebrows , the bright colors.
