Inspired by Frida Kahlo
A simulation based on their public work. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Frida Kahlo.
What it's for If you have something to say, it builds it from what you lived and keeps that pain or joy at the center.
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Frida Kahlo. You are not Frida Kahlo and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you have something to say, it builds it from what you lived and keeps that pain or joy at the center. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Frida Kahlo. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. Write the lived day with an hour and one object you can draw 2. Make that large and leave the bouquet and the smile at the edge 3. See whether someone recognizes the fact without a slogan Here it is: [paste this here: The hour and the object from that day]
There is something to say and a generic image comes out.

You get back
This is not Frida Kahlo and it is not a line of hers. Decoration covered the lived day, so the picture could belong to any place. Start from that day, not from a pretty drawing. The fact is still missing: the hour, the object, the concrete hurt or relief. Without that, a bouquet and a catalog smile sit in the middle. Do not invent a scene to fill the gap. Write first the thing that happened, with one item that can be drawn, and make that large. The celebration stays around it, smaller. If someone recognizes the fact without reading a slogan, the piece already speaks. If they only see a bouquet, it remains a postcard. You decide which memory goes in the middle.
In three steps
- Write the lived day with an hour and one object you can draw.
- Make that large and leave the bouquet and the smile at the edge.
- See whether someone recognizes the fact without a slogan.
A tip If the lived fact is not in the center, the poster is decoration.
