Description: "Respirar Lucha" by Kimberly Duran <br />Original Acrylic and Aerosol on canvas 2.5ft x 3.5ft <br />My goal was to paint a portrait that will represent Persistence and Beauty with hopes that it will <br />fuel my community in a positive way. This portrait represents an homage to Frida Kahlo as a <br />person of color. I wanted to find beauty in her actual being, therefore I choose to utilize the <br />diverse color spectrum and remove the "color of skin" with hopes to see past ethnicity and see <br />past race and really paint her in all her beauty, and capture her culture of the soul she had that <br />was able to create such beautiful works in all the pain and sorrow that she lived in. As a being of <br />color that persisted and never gave up no matter what life threw at her. With that, adding a pink <br />lotus, a representative of creation, enlightenment, and purity. The lotus flowers emerge slowly <br />from dirty, muddy ponds over a period of a few days, and open all in the morning, and close <br />their petals in the late afternoon. Despite, emerging from such a muddy and dirty environment, <br />the lotus flower remains clean and beautiful. I paint colorful beings in a more organic form. <br />Utilizing colors and energies that become a part of their essence and demonstrate their beauty <br />and connection with beings from the Earth. <br />
