Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter celebrated for her powerful self-portraits and emotionally charged works that blend realism, symbolism, and elements of folk art. Known for exploring themes of identity, pain, and cultural heritage, she drew heavily from Mexican traditions, personal experiences, and her lifelong resilience in the face of physical challenges. Her bold visual language and intimate storytelling made her one of the most influential figures of 20th-century art. Frida gained international recognition with exhibitions in New York and Paris, becoming the first modern Mexican artist collected by the Louvre. Her legacy continues to inspire generations around the world.
The artist lived and worked in Coyoacán, Mexico.
