living nature frida kahloCreated towards the end of her life, Living Nature is one of Frida Kahlo's most symbolic still lifes. It transcends the traditional genre by incorporating cosmic and spiritual elements. The work explores the cycles of life, death and rebirth, in a composition rich in color and symbols from Mexican culture. In the foreground, a group of tropical fruits is arranged above a network of roots: open pitahayas, citrus fruits, tubers and a black avocado.
