Frida Kahlo and The Colors of Life by Amanda Cestaro
Submitted by Amanda Cestaro
Frida Kahlo and The Colors of Life is a book that mixes a historical biography with elements from fiction. Just like the movies we are used to watch about big personalities, this book is no different. It narrates the most impactful events of the artist’s life as at the same time, it uses from fiction to charm and conquer our hearts with dialogues, actions and behaviours that may have never existed but surely could have.
From the perspective of a designer, this is a big playground as it offers a lot of creative possibilities to choose from. The fact that this is not a historical book, but a romance, meant that I could use elements that were based on reality but in a fun way. Not to mention the possibility to work and research the genius that Kahlo was.
During my first diggings, I first noticed how Kahlo would sometimes write over her art using her own hand calligraphy. In her diaries she would also have her own expressive calligraphies that were much more loose. I decided this would have to be present in the book.
At the same time, she would constantly use fauna and flora elements in her paintings. Another important feature from her that was also depicted in her work is fashion and how it can be a powerful expressive instrument. To conclude, probably the most iconic environment in her life was the Blue House.
With all this in mind, I was able to create collages, paint and write being inspired by her iconography, baring in mind the public I had to work with – young people, particularly female.
In the end the box was a big success with TAG Livros readers!
