La Cocina de Frida Kahlo is a contemporary homage that transforms the domestic space into a site of cultural convergence, memory, and collective imagination. Drawing from Frida Kahlo’s kitchen as both a personal and symbolic arena, the work envisions a gathering of creative forces brought together through ritual, nourishment, and exchange. The composition unfolds as a ceremonial table where historical presence and contemporary storytelling coexist, echoing the way Kahlo surrounded herself with artists, thinkers, and influential voices of her time. In this reimagined setting, iconic characters from the Netflix universe share space with Frida, forming a living constellation of narratives that span generations, disciplines, and identities. Food, flora, and color operate as connective elements, reinforcing themes of abundance, intimacy, and cultural continuity. The work positions storytelling as a communal act, celebrating diversity, imagination, and the enduring power of gathering to create meaning.
