Frieda Kahlo and Icons

I used this mood board to communicate with a Make Up Artist and Photographer on a photo shoot I'd produced and Art Directed for a jewellery designer named Jessica Melville-Brown. This was the Spanish themed makeup, in which I wanted to show homage to Frieda Kahlo, as she is an inspiration to the Client.

A self-portrait, although she is not showing herself as a Mary icon, this has inspired me to show her as a Mother Mary inspired icon.
I like the vibrant hues in this image - I feel Spanish culture is vibrant and would be good to show that.
I want the model to have rosy cheeks and lips, as well as having flowers in her hair.
I really like the strong contrast of the blue background and the burnt orange hair scarf
tribally infused
I like the sunburst behind this models head and the material hanging down - Mother Mary - this could show Kahlo in an extremely iconic light.
