Someone told me “You are lucky to be an artist because you can reflect your fate in your art, like Frida Kahlo did.”  This was around the time when I had lost all my family in this world.  I was 29 years old.  I don’t have the courage she had.  She appealed to all as if she was a heroin in a dramatic tragedy, and always faced her fate.  The truth is that I am not able to become like her. Because I am too happy and I appreciate being happy.
