Frida Kahlo facing the inevitable: a poetic self-portrait on the flight of time and the persistence of being

Painted in 1946, Le Temps passe vite (El Tiempo vuela) is a rare allegorical self-portrait in the work of Frida Kahlo, where the artist deeply evokes the passage of time, the transformation of the body, and memory. More sober than her iconic works, this painting blends melancholy, wisdom, and spirituality, in a frontal and stripped-down composition, imbued with subtle symbols.

A wise Frida, turned towards eternity

A calm gaze, a minimalist setting

Frida depicts herself facing forward, with a calm, almost meditative face, wearing a pink shawl around her shoulders and her braided hair. Unlike her more dramatic self-portraits, here the pain seems suspended, replaced by an awareness of the passing time, of lived experience, of resilience.

The deep blue background symbolizes stability, infinity, detachment. Around his head, one can read the inscription:
"Time flies" – Time passes quickly –, a simple but poignant phrase, which conveys both nostalgia, the urgency to live, and regained serenity.

A work of transition and introspection

Frida created this painting shortly after a period of intense physical suffering related to her numerous surgeries. Here, she does not paint her pain, but her clarity, as if to say: I am still here, standing, despite everything. It is a portrait of maturity, of an artist who does not flee finitude, but accepts it with grandeur.
