The Ugly Duck x Frida Kahlo - Flowers - Size M

Unveil your true self and embrace the creation of art. In this piece, the bird stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and the desire to express one's true self. For The Ugly Duck, this bird also represents an honest expression of one’s innermost emotions and a profound connection with embracing one’s imperfections, much like Frida Kahlo's journey.

This sculpture, ¡Viva la Vida!, features a striking print inspired by Frida Kahlo’s iconic artistry. The choice of Kahlo’s signature style adds a layer of depth to the piece, merging the bird’s symbolism with Kahlo’s powerful imagery—vivid colors, floral motifs, and raw expressions of life’s complexities. This fusion creates a unique narrative that celebrates the spirit of resilience, the courage to stay true to oneself, and the journey of self-discovery.

Frida Kahlo's influence is more than just an artistic style; it's a philosophy of embracing life's hardships with grace and unyielding passion. Her work, often reflecting themes of pain, identity, and the beauty of the human experience, aligns perfectly with The Ugly Duck's ethos of embracing uniqueness and challenging societal norms. The bird, adorned with Kahlo’s imagery, becomes not only a symbol of inner strength but also a tribute to the legacy of an artist who dared to be different and lived by her own rules.

This limited edition collection, with only 350 pieces available, stands as a powerful homage to Frida Kahlo's enduring legacy. It invites viewers to connect with the vibrant spirit of Kahlo, to find beauty in life's imperfections, and to celebrate the strength that comes from embracing one's true self. Flowers, a recurring motif in Kahlo’s work, symbolize life, beauty, and resilience—reflecting her artistic self-identification and her ability to turn personal struggle into universal messages of hope and inspiration.
