To take inspiration and design a Mexican garden It is possible to look at gardening magazines and blogs, but I think there is nothing like appreciating closely those remnants of culture and design that appear in museums, when exhibitions dedicated to the great art figures of each country are held.

Frida Kahlo She is undoubtedly the most important painter in Mexico and that is why today we bring her here to JardineriaOn, on the occasion of the exhibition that is being carried out in her name these days.

Frida Kahlo: art, garden, life It is undoubtedly an open door to creativity since it exhibits 10 paintings and four drawings by the painter where her studio and the garden of her famous Blue House are recreatedthe residence in which the artist lived in the neighborhood of Coyoacán, Mexico City, and that she shared with her husband, the artist Diego Rivera. The exhibition is centered on the garden of his house and the Kahlo’s conception of plants.

Those who have had the opportunity to know the trajectory of Frida Kahlo and to visit the Blue House have been able to appreciate the magic of her work, which stands out for its personal shapes and high-impact colors.

It is precisely this very own style that can serve as inspiration when designing a Mexican garden. The exhibition not only allows you to delve into the forms and content of Kahlo’s work but also allows you to peek into her garden and plants …nothing better than this to take ideas.

Frida Kahlo, source of inspiration

“The works we chose for the exhibition shed light on a question that had hardly been addressed about Kahlo’s work, whose suffering as well as her personal and love life have always been central,” explains Adriana Zavala, curator of the exhibition. . It is this approach that is the most attractive of the exhibition and what, in short, can serve as a starting point to think of new ideas for design a mexican garden.

Those who are fortunate to be in New York these days and visit the Botanical Garden of the city will be able to enjoy these works up close, but those who are far away do not have to feel outside. Not only can you visit the official site of the Botanical Garden to see the exhibition, but you can also follow the path of this exhibition and investigate Frida’s works inspired by her own home in order to rethink your own green space.
