Frida Kahlo wasn’t just a painter—she was a revolutionary artist who transformed personal suffering into powerful, symbolic works. After a devastating bus accident at 18, she endured a lifetime of pain, channeling it into raw and emotional self-portraits.

Known for her bold colors and surreal imagery, Kahlo painted 55 self-portraits, using her unibrow and traditional Mexican attire as statements of identity and defiance. Her marriage to Diego Rivera was as passionate as it was tumultuous, influencing some of her most iconic pieces.

Deeply proud of her Mexican heritage, she wove folklore and indigenous themes into her work, making her a key figure in the Mexicanidad movement. A fearless feminist, Kahlo broke societal norms, addressing gender, pain, and resilience in ways that continue to inspire.
