I am in Mexico.....
Mexico—larger than the combined territories of Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Germany. Mexico, where anthropologists and archaeologists uncover traces of cultures and civilizations dating back over 20,000 years.
The country took its name from its capital, not the other way around. Its elevation is 2,300 meters above sea level, making it the fourth-highest capital city on the planet.
This centuries-old capital of the ancient Aztecs was once called “Metzlixicictlico” (pronounced approximately as “Mexico” in their language) and was named after their deity Mexitli. During the 20th century, for decades, Mexico City was the largest city in the world.
Today, it has been surpassed in population by Tokyo, São Paulo, Kinshasa, and Cairo. Yet, when including its suburbs and a total population of over 21 million people, Mexico City still remains among the top five on the planet. And, of course, it has its advantages over… the aforementioned Kinshasa in Congo, doesn’t it?
The capital MEXICO is truly….. THE CITY OF FRIDA KAHLO!
Only one other place in the world is so deeply tied to the spirit and message of a woman who has become immortal in history—that is Buenos Aires and its ever-celebrated (including by me) Evita Perón.
And just as blonde and European in her nature and worldview the Argentine Evita was, so dark-haired and enigmatic is the Mexican icon Frida Kahlo. Almost “indigenous” in appearance, almost like a “colorful gypsy from a romance of passion,” yet with German even Jewish blood in her veins, this astonishingly bold figure in both artistic and social expression, this inspiring personality named Frida, is not only an immortal portrait artist whose works sell for up to 35 million dollars at Sotheby’s, but also a symbol of this pulsating, historic city—its very emblem.
And if her name derives from the word “peace,” then words like “REBELLION,” “DEFIANCE,” and “FIRE” are far more fitting for the spirit she embodied.
Yes, Frida Kahlo is everywhere. Painted across Mexican walls—sometimes masterfully, sometimes with amateur passion—she lives on in daily life and thought.
Bold.Different.Free.
For every Mexican, Frida Kahlo embodies—through the trials of her own life—the painful, shadow-filled journey toward independence, toward identity and national pride. The transformation of every pain into an unbreakable hymn to life.
She,Frida—the provocative, the suffering, the fiery one. The revolutionary. Born, lived, and died right here in the city built as the proud capital of the Aztecs, later plundered and covered with cathedrals by colonizers, and then bought and sold through the corruption of American dollars
Mexico City needs the face of its Frida on its walls.
So that it never forgets its own riches again.

🎨 Ако по времето на Леонардо, Микеланджело, Рафаел и Караваджо вече беше открита фотографията… щяхме ли изобщо да имаме всичките тези невероятни шедьоври, които познаваме днес? Или вместо безценни автопортрети, рисувани с месеци и години, щяхме да имаме просто куп селфита с филтър „Renaissance Vibes“? „Съживих“ с AI няколко автопортрета и портрета на едни от най-великите италиански ренесансови майстори… и тръпки ме побиха.
