Frida Kahlo said, "I paint flowers, so they will not die." This evening, a group of enthusiasts will bring this quote alive on canvas at a painting party organised by Bombay Drawing Room
Kahlo's self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, 1940
Belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicanidad movement, Kahlo painted self-portraits. She was inflicted with polio in childhood, and sustained heavy injuries in a near-death accident as a teenager. She began to focus heavily on painting while recovering in a body cast, and many of her works have been created while lying in bed.

Patil, who discovered Kahlo while reading about women artists who changed the course of surreal modern art, says, "Using her personal tragedies, combined with a realistic painting style, she produced images that were emotionally raw and unapologetic. Her paintings also showcase her love for flowers, animals and the forests."
