Frida Kahlo GLASS MURAL by Almendra Trevino in Sydney
Frida Kahlo GLASS MURAL
“FRIDA FOREVER ALIVE”
3.80 x 1.36 m
Markers on window.
Based on a very rare and little-known photo of Frida Kahlo holding a parrot in Coyoacán, México, I wanted to make a combination of that pic, the Australian rainbow lorikeet, with The Skeleton or Mexican Catrina, in reference to the traditional “Day of the Dead”.
Both characters (the skull and Frida) wear a human heart in their headdresses, perpetuating the legacy of our beloved Mexican painter beyond death. 💫

Meet the Artist
Sydney, AustraliaMultidisciplinary Artist established in Sydney, Australia.
Originally a Graphic Designer with post-degree studies in Art History and Mixed Painting Techniques, currently a full-time artist specializing in illustration, murals and fine art canvas.
I'm inspired by the unseen beauty of — Human kindness, animal greatness, plant nobility, soul beauty, body language, energy, fearlessness, gratitude, freedom, and femininity.
My job is to translate these invisible inspirations into tangible expressions. Drawing from Mexico's rich culture and Australia's natural beauty, I create pieces that provoke thought and emotion.
I like to use forms and line textures creating a highly detailed `other-worldly´ line work, that transports viewers to a different realm, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my work with others.
