Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican artist known for her distinctive self-portraits and her representation of Mexican indigenous and folk culture. She was born in Coyoacán, Mexico City, and began painting after a bus accident that left her permanently disabled.

Kahlo's paintings are known for their intense, emotional quality and her use of vivid colors and symbolism. Her work often dealt with themes of identity, sexuality, and physical and emotional pain. She was heavily influenced by her relationship with fellow artist Diego Rivera, whom she married twice.
