I’ve Been Making Frida Kahlo Out Of Paper Since 2015, And Here Is My Artistic Progression

ADVERTISEMENT

I love making paper pieces, especially of interesting people with iconic appearances. Frida Kahlo has always been someone I’ve admired so when I started making paper art in 2015, I started with her. Since then, I’ve grown as an artist, my style has evolved, and my skills have improved and as a result, my rendition of Frida has endured. Enjoy!
